Empty Eyes and Empty Words

Contributed by MoonlitAngel on Sunday, 16th May 2004 @ 11:33:43 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



Look at me with those empty eyes
What have I done to deserve these words from you?
You cannot love what you don't know
As I leave, I'll leave behind some tears for you
There's nothing else that I can do
I'd throw this all away before I'd lie to you
I will not lay down here and die
And never again will I believe in you

Don't try to make me happy
Don't try to make me your fool
There's nothing for me in something I cannot be
Don't try to turn me around
Don't try to make me give in
I'm not your toy and your games will not bring me down

I don't think you know me at all
'Cause what you think I want to hear, I don't
Please understand I can't be saved
It's gone too far and I hold it in my hands
This won't be over quite so soon
Your words don't mean what they used to anymore
I'm gonna walk away from this
And I don't care if you're there when I turn around

Don't ever try to change me
You can't, I won't, don't bother
There's no place for you in a heart you cannot reach to
Don't even try to tell me
How I should and should not feel
Please don't waste your precious breath on those empty words

You can tell me anything
Maybe I'll listen and maybe I'll care
But you'll never see inside
And I'm sorry to say I don't know you
The damage is done and gone
Now I just need you to realize who I am
I'm trying to figure out
If I'm better off with or without you

*blinks in wonder*

comenting on the poem itself, i think it's magnificent,
the flow is absolutely brilliant.
it is oh-so-very powerful...
you have managed to vent out your frustration or hurt etc. in an excellent format.

also, you have portrayed and/or revealed the true message behind this poem very directly...which impressed me because most people who try to do this end up using a LOT of redundancy which to me, isn't very pleasant to read.

overall, exceptionall write moonlit and i really DO hope that things work out for the best...Remember, if there's a possibility the wounds may heal, Time is the only thing that WILL heal them...
Best wishes,
13 year old girl deeply impressed my monlit''s magnitude of words,
katie

BTW:sorry i wrote too much. i couldn't help it.

very telling and easily understood. and the flow was quite good. certain phrases like:

"Your words don't mean what they used to anymore
I'm gonna walk away from this
And I don't care if you're there when I turn around"

and

"Don't even try to tell me
How I should and should not feel
Please don't waste your precious breath on those empty words"

stood out (insert appropriate adjective of praise here). sorry, i suck at comments. anyway, i liked it enough to comment, so it must have been damn good.

I missed this one.
It was brilliant.
'You cannot love what you don't know
As I leave, I'll leave behind some tears for you
There's nothing else that I can do'
'Don't try to make me happy
Don't try to make me your fool
There's nothing for me in something I cannot be
Don't try to turn me around
Don't try to make me give in'
Ok... I'm done with that.
I really did like this one.
It does kinda suck living like this towards everyone your whole life.
We don't visit here. We live here.
Sorry....

Filled with a grief that seems to personal to empathize with. But does it not hurt to be so alone?
Sorry, I don't really mean to start up again.
