Living A Lie

Contributed by Cagedsoul on Friday, 14th January 2005 @ 08:13:51 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



Living this lie cannot last
Clinging to a futile past
If the skeletons in our closets stay
We will bathe ourselves in deep dismay

An eternal fire burning within
The scars you gave burn like a sin
Eternal love it was not
Twas only a passionate thought

By your memories I am tossed
To and fro soon am lost
Always I am searching
For a way to stop this hurting

Great write. Very sad though. A broken heart will mend in time. Much peace.

Sad/But there is beauty in the written word
when it comes from that burning love within your soul,and you do have soul.

Who doesn't live a lie? The rich? No, they live one too. What's the point of living? Your poem brought questions to my mind. I'm not sure if thats a good thing really, but your poem was worth the read.

Nice first post, Cagedsoul. In terms of feedback, I'd have to say I stumbled a bit on "bathe ourselves in deep dismay" and "burn like a sin"... if only because I wondered if you would have chose to express yourself this way if you hadn't been seeking a rhyme for the prior line(s). Just a thought...

Overall - I agree... worth a read. I do hope that you keep writing/posting.

very nice poem, the second stanza rhyming seams a little forced, but it turned out alright. I have that same problem sometimes too, its just hard to come up with a line that rhymes and has good rhythm at the same time too. Keep it up.....
