[hometext] => *sigh* There are times when I just have to write like this, to get the words out. I'm not overly proud of it, but here it is anyway. (Give it a chance, the ending is far better than the beginning)
[bodytext] => It seems I struggle just to write this,
Even though it seems to be right,
The words are stuck in a recess,
In the furthest corner of my mind.
There's a hole in there full of memories,
Fighting for a way to escape,
But the shadow is deep and foreboding,
And when I search I find fear taking shape.
And the hole sometimes seems darker,
When I look at it in certain light,
My hands shake, when I think of falling,
Though they steady, when I think I can fly.
And really what is the difference?
I'll still be lost in the swirl of your eyes,
And I'm not sure I'll ever be looking,
At myself, whom I only despise.
And it's harder to breathe when I think it,
But it's nice to know I can die.
I'm holding my life in the palm of my hand,
And somehow, It feels so right.
But I wish it was you who were holding,
And you would throw me with all of your might,
For if you were the one who was killing,
I know that I would not fight.
And each time I swallow I'm hurting,
There's this pain here deep in my chest,
I think it's this thing called a heartbeat,
I think someone has left it in jest.
I'd rip it to pieces in moments,
If I had any of my courage left,
But I'll just hold onto heartache and live this,
Because that's what I seem to do best.

Oh hon! It's beautiful in it's overbearing sadness. You really do express that well - just wish you didn't have to feel that way to do it.

Youre right..
the ending is best..
I love the "in your face" quality
of that last stanza..
Seems you're at a crossroads here..
Don't continue to beat yourself up..
Do what is right and move on...be happy-
Much luck in this...to you-
Yours-

I gotta say... this is an absolutly brilliant write, ripe with emotion, dripping with anguish. Excellent job displaying the heartache, it will get better just give it time.
Best of luck.

| Beautifully tragic. I felt the pain pouring off the screen. I relate to this, so of course I like it, but it is more then that. The way it progresses from beginning to end. There was anticipation. It was a great evolution. Well done!! XOXO |

I can not believe you thought I might not like this Phil. I tend to agree that the poem gathers strength as it progresses, and the ending Is severely powerful in both pain and a lasting sence of perserverance. I like this muchly !!!!
Yay Phil !!!!

Wow!!!!
This was just so sad Phil, it made me tear up just by reading your powerful emotions in this peice.
I do agree with everyone, when it comes to showing your emotions you do it better than anyone else.
Thanks for sharing this Philly.
