We aren’t all that different
No, we’ve all been hurt before
We’ve lost our fights
And earned our scars
And learned love can be war

We build up our defenses
And we hide behind these walls
We live our life
From day to day
We pray we'll never fall

And then one day it happens
That right someone comes along
They make us take
A look inside
Decide we might be wrong

Now
I can see you
And I can tell
I want to break your heart
Out of its shell
Shine a light into
The darkness that you dwell
I want to break your heart
I want to break it well

The distances between us
Now don’t matter much at all
Forget the truth
To get to you
On hands and knees, I’ll crawl

I pray that you believe me
And that you’ll let down your guard
A leap of faith
Is all it takes
I won’t let you fall too hard

‘Cuz
I can see you
And I can tell
I want to break your heart
Out of its shell
Shine a light into
The darkness that you dwell
I want to break your heart
I want to break it well

You can’t tell me you don’t hear me
You can’t tell me you don’t see
You can’t tell me you’re not sorry for
The way things used to be
Everybody wants somebody
They can call their own
You may have built a castle but
Alone it ain’t no home

And
I can see you
And I can tell
I want to break your heart
Out of its shell
Shine a light into
The darkness that you dwell
I want to break your heart
I want to break it well

I want to break your heart
I want to break it well

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by Fionndruinne on Tuesday, 2nd May 2006 @ 11:12:52 PM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) Bravo! This poem's message is one I've belabored more than once, but never quite so well, methinks. The refrain, especially these lines - I want to break your heart Out of its shell I want to break your heart I want to break it well - simply brilliant! Well done, Scott, well done indeed. Andrew

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by Vampirequeen on Tuesday, 2nd May 2006 @ 11:15:35 PM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) I totally agree with Wiz there. I think this may be your best work yet.

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by Former_Member on Tuesday, 2nd May 2006 @ 11:27:08 PM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) Snazzy, this turned out even better than I had imagined when you first told me of it's conception. Brilliant in all it's insinuations and declarations. You outdid yourself with this one, hun. Truly a masterful write. And that title (and thoughts therein) are deceptive to a point, you little trickster. Well done. Your cleverness never disappoints. This is an easy favourite. ~Breezy

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by EddieDean on Wednesday, 3rd May 2006 @ 05:13:15 AM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) You were right, that poem was diffrent from what the title alludes to. Very nice work, very nice indeed. It is a love poem, one that I have tried to right many a times, but have failed each time. Keep up the good work. -Eddie Dean

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by Former_Member on Thursday, 4th May 2006 @ 12:01:55 AM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) Scott, OMG (and other endearing internet acronyms)! You completely floored me with this. I was execting something entirely different, which is why it was so thrilling to find out my expectations were wrong. You are a superior talent, and among the elite on this site. Nothing you have ever posted on YPDC has been less than grand, yet you completely went beyond elite with this. I feel this is hands down one of your best and arguably the best I have ever read of yours. One hell of a write. I did not see that it was song lyrics until after I read it, but got that idea from the way you wrote it. Still, I had a rhythm in my head that played along and the words here just sung out loud to me. Amazing job my friend! SCM

Re: I Want To Break Your Heart (User Rating: 1 ) by Willofree on Wednesday, 14th June 2006 @ 11:15:15 AM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) Naz, You remind me of the high jumper who gets better and better, and keeps raising the bar. It's as if your talent and creativity keep growing. This was a beautiful write/song, with some lament, some pain and yet much wisdom. I think your format often adds to the symbolism of your writes. Here it is like starting anew on the other side of the page. Well done my friend, Will
