the cause, is something ive done
I twist and I turn, as these tears burn
I have lost what i could have won.

Theyre harsh, theyre blind presumptions
I forced in your face they broke up your heart
I’d take them all back if I could and I would
Go back with you to the start

And now that they see I am lonely
They’re prowling around eyes wide
Closing in fast, coming in strong
To forge their ways inside

They’re reaching out to touch me
this so called ‘beautiful exterior’
Asking me here, calling me there
But compared to you, they’re inferior

I cant keep my mind off of you
As they show off... ‘what they’ve all got’
They dance, they prance, glitter and shine
But youre everything they are not

They could send me twenty white roses
And squeeze me till I turn blue
But that wouldn’t distract and make my thoughts stray
From this beautiful image of you

They could soak me in affection
and give up themselves to me
never would they ever come close
youre all they never will be

If youre going to rate my work a 1 star, having the balls to admit it and tell me why.

If i read your poem and i think it deserves a low grade i will be honest.

First of all I would like to welcome you to YPDC.

I found this to be a touching read. A raw expression of lost love.

I wouldn't put much stock in the pressing of a button from someone unwilling to comment on their motives. We all grow in the things we write and it is what we think and take away from it that really matters.

Keep on writing and growing

Peace

~Shannon
