[bodytext] => I don’t want you to give me the world I wouldn’t want to carry that burden I don’t want a poem or sonnet Declarations of love in your scrawling print Don’t feel the need to tell me that I’m the one When we both know that I’m not You don’t need to whisper your desires into my hair You would conquer my hear no matter what you say tonight Don’t tell me things aren’t how they seem When she’s the one you’ll be dreaming of tonight Don’t patronize me by saying I’m such a pretty little thing Not when you don’t know how un-pretty I am under this skin For one last night I’ll pretend I don’t see forever in your gaze I’ll lower myself to your level once more Denying that I want to be more than what I am Forgetting who we both are I’ll be your plaything Do with me that you please Kiss me, lie to me, tell me it will be ok Why don’t you want to forget the rest of the world When my head rests on your chest Why doesn’t your hand against my cheek Capture every piece of your essence Why are you thinking of her when you’re with me Don’t you see the torture in my eyes Why do you pretend you’re blind to what I’m thinking What would it take to be worth it to you Who would I have to be to make you leave with me Well, I guess you’ve decided to settle for me tonight Pretending not to know that you mean everything to me Using my body without looking me in the eye Closing your own so you can better see hers And in the end you’ll fulfill your need I’ll pretend it didn’t mean more to me When your kisses still cling to every inch of my being tomorrow morning I’ll scrape you from my flesh Throw each one out with the rest of my yearnings The thoughts, feelings, hopes, words The way your skin felt against mine I’ll fill in the imprint you left on my soul It will heal soon enough And I sweep out all our trash But, tonight I’ll forget about what’s in store Please don’t move, just lay there I’m breathing you in tonight Making a memory to haunt me for a life-time [comments] => 4 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 52 [informant] => leepeter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 102 [ratings] => 21 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

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. ©
