Holding on to heartbreak

Contributed by lostinmyself on Thursday, 15th September 2005 @ 08:37:59 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



It seems I struggle just to write this,
Even though it seems to be right,
The words are stuck in a recess,
In the furthest corner of my mind.
There's a hole in there full of memories,
Fighting for a way to escape,
But the shadow is deep and foreboding,
And when I search I find fear taking shape.

And the hole sometimes seems darker,
When I look at it in certain light,
My hands shake, when I think of falling,
Though they steady, when I think I can fly.
And really what is the difference?
I'll still be lost in the swirl of your eyes,
And I'm not sure I'll ever be looking,
At myself, whom I only despise.

And it's harder to breathe when I think it,
But it's nice to know I can die.
I'm holding my life in the palm of my hand,
And somehow, It feels so right.
But I wish it was you who were holding,
And you would throw me with all of your might,
For if you were the one who was killing,
I know that I would not fight.

And each time I swallow I'm hurting,
There's this pain here deep in my chest,
I think it's this thing called a heartbeat,
I think someone has left it in jest.
I'd rip it to pieces in moments,
If I had any of my courage left,
But I'll just hold onto heartache and live this,
Because that's what I seem to do best.

Oh hon! It's beautiful in it's overbearing sadness. You really do express that well - just wish you didn't have to feel that way to do it.

Youre right..
the ending is best..
I love the "in your face" quality
of that last stanza..

Seems you're at a crossroads here..
Don't continue to beat yourself up..
Do what is right and move on...be happy-

Much luck in this...to you-

Yours-

Billy

I gotta say... this is an absolutly brilliant write, ripe with emotion, dripping with anguish. Excellent job displaying the heartache, it will get better just give it time.

Best of luck.

Beautifully tragic. I felt the pain pouring off the screen. I relate to this, so of course I like it, but it is more then that. The way it progresses from beginning to end. There was anticipation. It was a great evolution. Well done!! XOXO

I can not believe you thought I might not like this Phil. I tend to agree that the poem gathers strength as it progresses, and the ending Is severely powerful in both pain and a lasting sence of perserverance. I like this muchly !!!!

Yay Phil !!!!

Wow!!!!

This was just so sad Phil, it made me tear up just by reading your powerful emotions in this peice.

I do agree with everyone, when it comes to showing your emotions you do it better than anyone else.

Thanks for sharing this Philly.
