Array ( [sid] => 9335 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Veil of Tears [time] => 2002-12-27 21:00:00 [hometext] => * I wrote this one just a few days ago. I chose suicidal poetry since there is no topic listing depession. In any case the 2nd to last stanza is written about a girl that hurt me badly. Sadly, she treats herself like a slut. I wanted her love not her body... In case some of you are wondering why I have all sorts of questions but no answers in my poems is simply because I have no answers. So yeah hope u enjoy this and post a comment plz!* [bodytext] => In the dead, dark night
Curtains drawn tight
My fear is awakened

Through my veil of tears
I see your pointing fingers
Your heads thrown back in laughter
At me...

Through the confusion
I can hear your laughter
Which slices through me
Like I'm made out of paper

Confused and angry
At why I am forbidden to live and love
Who makes these rules anyway?

Through my cloak of depression
I'm drawn to the razor
Central, in all my fields of vision
My hand shaking, breathing laboured
Whoever said giving in his weak?

Through my sadness
I can see that you don't care
That our 'friendship' was a fake
As was everything you said
I dont want your body, just your love

In the dead, dark night
Eyes closed with leaden fright
Trying to block out this nightmare
When can I have some hope?
When will I be pulled out
Of this quicksand called depression?
Or will it envelope me completely? [comments] => 5 [counter] => 246 [topic] => 36 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

She must have some really low self esteem to treat herself that way, and not to trust in your love like that, i love the line " I can hear your laughter which slices through me like im made out of paper" that is beautifully written the way you layed that part out in the poem....Don't let it bind you down my friend where your hurting your own self over a person who has such low self esteem such as this you will surely get hurt worse than you are already....i think i liked this poem much better this time around of reading it...it's very deeply written bobo....thanks for sharing this one...i think this one is my favorite out of all the one's you have written....

i know what it's like to be suspicious of love. you always think that the person is wanting more of you, that theyre using you...
dont be hard on yourself over this girl, she hurt u to protect herself, and it is definitely her loss...

well written, i really could relate to this...

I love this one, Joel. I'm sorry that you've been hurt so bad... maybe you should show the girl this one. I believe your feelings for her are true and maybe someday she could get over thinking you just want her for her body...
