My false smiles, my real tears pouring down
Hiding my pain in fear of what you may say
'Tho without you this agony would not exist

You walk along too blind to see my heart
The sun never warms the long, frozen days
And the dark, empty nights go on forever

My bed is cold, my useless arms lie still
I can only tear apart and bleed so much
But the deep self-loathing never ends

Some might call me lucky- I'm not
The wretched scabs cover a thousand scars
I live in dreams to hide what's inside

I feel my confusion multiplying
Fake a big smile and pretend not to cry
But I have forgotten the truth of what's real

For when you loved me it felt so right
Without you I find myself lost and alone
My life feels broken and torn

Come back, hold me and kiss away my pain
Wipe away my hot, sorrowful tears
Make me whole; I long for you to save me

nice work, a good poem

flows nicely from start to finish, but so sad and dependent,

the character in the poem needs to find resolution so the poem is not just a lament but a turning point, as a song writer once told me "sad don't sell", but it does sell Paxil etc.

the lady is asking/pleading for help. Tough love is required...Dont molly-coddle or baby her. While baby steps on weaning her might help, but my psycho-babble degree doesnt give me insight in to an authors over all plan, TK U MLJ LV NV

Shit, Tazz

Do you always have to be such an ass? You are one of the most insensitive people on this site, but it looks like you can't help yourself with your psycho-posting. Time to go? Didn't your mommy ever tell you that if you can't say something nice...
