You stole the words

You stole the words out of my lips,
Before I had the chance to speak,
Then carefully re-arranged the lines,
And shouted them all back at me,
Making them something different,
To what I really need to say,
I guess my thoughts will wait again,
I'll speak of them another day.
I tried so many times before,
To tell you all the words I feel,
But everytime I try to talk,
You stop them before they're even real,
I open up my mouth to speak,
But I'm betrayed and make no sound,
For once you've swept me off my feet,
I lose the words I found.
[But I know one day I'll have to express,
These words you need to hear,
I have to be strong and tell you this,
And try to hold back the fear,
Then I'll finally tell you all my thoughts,
In words, real and sincere
And maybe in the very end,
You would hold them close, and dear.]
So listen to me now...
And hear... Me...

This was well done, the rhyme scheme was handled quite well, as well as the subject matter, which i more than understand after reading the poem.
the worst thing i can see from this is that maybe it's a bit too easy to relate to, honestly :P
you've truly written something very well here, no complaints from this end, sorry if u really did want some sort of critical response, but i can't seem to think of anything i would change about this. well done. |

Phil ... your words are always held close and dear. The ability to speak sometimes eludes us all. Maybe, just maybe, that is why we write. Perhaps if you wrote what needs saying the saying wouldn't seem so difficult.
I like this ... I would change nothing.

This is realy touching there's a scence of
longing in it, almost a parylized emotion just
waiting 2 be screamed out and yet no sound
is heard, very eerie of course very good as
usual you've maintained your goal of your
effectivness Phill . . .

I liked the rhythm of your write . I think that after the last line .
"You would hold them close, and dear.
Lisen to me now and hear. "
Just a little change but still ending it with the reader feeling like it has a finale. Nice write.

I couldn't personally find any flaws.
What you conveyed in this poem is not only wise but it reminds us to listen without being on defense and speak without offense.
Unfortunately, when you bare your soul, rarely another hears what you are saying bec. their mind hears what they want to hear.
I wonder what it would be like if someone did hear when you need them to?
This poem has so much depth and was very touching in a deep emotional way.

It's a very honest outpouring. Maybe it feels off to you, but not to me.
Very well-spoken feelings.

Again, I say, your poems make me want to write. I find nothing wrong with your poetry. To be an inspiration to others, that is like, well, that is a gift. I have been randomly reading yours and was thinking , well, which one next? Well, why don't I pick one that was posted near or on the day I joined YPDC. Well, you posted one the very day I joined. I certainly was not disappointed.
I am thankful I have come to know you, both as a poetess and especially a friend.
Take care, Phyllis.
Many blessings to you.
