Array ( [sid] => 110406 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Black-Eyed Burden [time] => 2005-11-26 12:09:02 [hometext] => Abuse in relationships.... the mental strain it puts on all parties.... NOT FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE... written because I watch my friend deal with it everyday [bodytext] => As hearts are heavy in despair,
Breaking into pieces by the abuse and the careless wear-
Calloused covered and frozen in time,
Destroying all memories and evidence of the crime-

Every soul is built to withstand defeat,
Flames of desire are always too difficult to beat-
Ground control to the eye in the sky- waiting in a gust of wind that's too intense,
Happiness is a black-eyed burden of a lovers mindless defense-

Illegal precautions by authorities worker bee's,
Just dont stand a chance in the dropping degrees-
Killing the spirit, blowing away the control,
Learn to love him- mind, body and soul-

Mastermind in a scheme of revenge and pain,
Normal actions will get you slain-
Opportunity is knocking at your front door,
Promising diamonds and riches and so much more-

Question the motives, formulate the plot,
Reserve the right to leave what you've got-
Something sickening is under construction,
Timing is everything in this lovers production-

Under estimate the places you've seen,
Vain attempts cause problems to become mean-
Waiting in angst for the answers to prayers,
You walk together through Hell's spiral of stairs-

This moment feeds off the need and the desire,
Add a log to fuel the campfire-
When he's in your grasp you let him go,
But dont close your eyes, cause he will know-

Breaking heart, beat is slowing,
There really is no way of really knowing-
Romance and love are a dance for thieves and liars,
Jealousy results in threats and slashed tires.

really sad but great poem.

But there is the insight in the below line:


"Every soul is built to withstand defeat,"

Defeat can be the greatest victory.

And bland Happiness so unfruitful. If you find time I have a Rictazmeter "Darkness of the Soul"
The edge and heft is bestowed in the Darkness and often in what seems defeat
Great poem
Blessings
Elizabeth
