Betrayal



You whispered twas fear led your heart to stray
you needed space, time away
i set you free, go find your self
put our love in a box up on the shelf
along with tears, the shock, the pain,
washed away by numbness
like cold winter rain,


each day i awake, wait for IT to come, but IT never does,
all i feel is numb,
i don't think of her wrapped, coiled, in your arm's, 
words once mine,
dripped on her,
used like charms.
cold lost void inside,
but
life goes on have my pride,


slow penetration pin pricks
you lied,
do you know what i offered do you know what you've done?
you have taken my everything, my happiness, my sun, 
WHAT i offered i scream
till I'm blue in the face,
was my soul,
all my goodness
all my love all my grace.


Was it worth nothing? this gift i bestowed, this trust, wrapped in truth
lined with love, paved with gold?
and for what was it worth? all your time? all your space?,
nothing for me, but a slap in the face,.
i ask you again, do you know what you've done?
you've taken my goodness,
and I'm twisted now to nothing but numb

Hi Vicki

I'm giving you 4 stars for this , there is alittle cleaning up around the edges. 1st verse up upon , this is using the same word twice so you could loose one of them. I had a lot of help and suport when I started to put work up here and it has really helped...you've captured me with your spark and hunget to improve...go for it. I'll come back with that last star when you have 'tightened' it as the lovely Jayne put it. Seabhac

sometime we write because we

sometime we write because we have something to say and other times we write simply to say something; the trick is in taking the latter and turning it into the former. I think you have done that well here. ken

Food for thought

does that mean that here i just wanted to write about a subject to write a poem no matter what that subject was, and managed to turn it into a peice as if that subject had happened? Or the other way round lol, I had had this happen and managed to convey those feeling from experience? answers on a post card ; )I think i confused myself there lol. Thankyou for my feed back you've given me something to ponder on vicki ; )

I would have believed, and

I would have believed, and did mean, the latter, but if it is the former and derived from imagination then you have excelled greatly.
