Array ( [sid] => 43741 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Lost My Grip [time] => 2004-04-18 11:25:17 [hometext] => Wrote this last November or early December after I'd broken a number of hearts. [bodytext] => I lost my grip
The one that I lack
How could I slip?
Well there’s no turning back

I did it again
I knew that I would
Can I please re-begin
Cuz I will if I could

I don’t know love
Cuz I’m full of *****
But someone above
Means something by it

Let me tell you a story
That isn’t a lie
There is just no glory
In the look in their eye

I’m a heart breaker
Or kindly, a flirt
A heartless love taker
Who feels worse than dirt

I don’t mean to hurt them
As I always do
I never could keep them
It’s always been true

And although I’m heartless
They tell me I’m not
Yet once they’re a witness
Hell should let me rot

You’d never guess how hard
It is to be me
I’ve been dealt the wrong hand
The dealer hates me

Ironic but truly
I dealt it myself
My love is unruly
I’m building a shelf

And there will I keep it
That’s always my word
But also it’s bull *****
The worst I have heard

I wish it weren’t this way
I can’t make it quit
My heart does what it may
Get too close, get bit

It can not be tamed
This wild tiger heart
It’s prey will be maimed
And that’s the worst part

My love is like lightning
It never strikes twice
And it is so frightening
Yet colder than ice [comments] => 3 [counter] => 214 [topic] => 61 [informant] => liquidsunshine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
I Lost My Grip

Interesting poem. The title would almost mislead to make one think it was going to be slightly different. I like the flow of the poem and the wording. It rings an aspect of truth and I like that as well. Nicely done.

This is an honest and excellent write. I know these feelings. Time and God can heal anything. I know that now, but it took forever to learn it. You hang in there liquid, better days are ahead. He has good plans for you.
Love,
Stitch
