relax me when no one else could

free me from myself
when i was caught up in
my own world

how could you say
the right thing
that could
smooth out
any worries
that were in
my mind

why must it be you
who could be the one
that can strengthen me
yet weaken all at once

you have this gift to be
an amazing asset
and yet you can tear me down
with a snap of a finger

why must i be around someone
so deadly as a rattlesnake
that isn't good for me
but is sweet as honey
to protect me whenever i need them?

how do they do that? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 33 [informant] => PreciousKitten [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SecretLove )

How do you do that?

Nice poem. I like your line "deadly as a rattlesnake", nice imagery of how something amazing can be so painful.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
