I talk to her, but never say what's in my head
She unknowingly has me under her spell
And I doubt she can tell
Never did I say what I wanted to be said
Never did I show the blood which I bled
Fear has created my own hell
A hell which I am still yet to shed
But here comes the toll of the bell
And she'll be gone after it's knell
And I need to say many things before I am dead
I need to say things before I am dead [comments] => 1 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 2 [informant] => Dimes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Before the knell

I watch her from inside my shell
I talk to her, but never say what's in my head
She unknowingly has me under her spell
And I doubt she can tell
Never did I say what I wanted to be said
Never did I show the blood which I bled
Fear has created my own hell
A hell which I am still yet to shed
But here comes the toll of the bell
And she'll be gone after it's knell
And I need to say many things before I am dead
I need to say things before I am dead

Good stuff! I think most of us can relate, at one time or another; I know I can. You've captured well the raw yearning and the grim acknowledgment of it, as the self works out its love-hate relationship with itself.

Those two closing lines, as well, are extraordinary. The repetition drives it home in a way I don't think any other method could. Bravo!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. ©
