Romeo romeo, where art thou fucking romeo?

I used to think the pain would kill
that i would slowly die
a piece of me would wither up
every time i cry

Your not hanging on my skirts
not breathing beer on my ear
telling me shit jokes
my mind was finally clear

one step forwards two steps back
i got literature diarrhea
got the equivalent of word clap
one little note an my calm all undone
a little tiny sorry wrapped an homespun

but the tears they don't come
cos i took a little pill
they prick behind the eyes
but that is all i feel
I'm feeling kinda numb
its really rather cool
no more licking windows
staring vacant in my own drool

you know what romeo
your words they don't mean shit
five long months to late
sorrys made of salt and grit
to rub in unclosed wounds
scratch cuts open wide
so where art thou now romeo
your sorrys smell of lied

Hehehehe. I wrote a Romeo

Hehehehe. I wrote a Romeo poem in 1972 ~~ the rant continued... and I ended it with Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo? Did you bring the Saturday Night Special (A small handgun). Well ok, it wasn't funny then. ;-) Hugs, Anna I'll come back for more.. but the end might be: your sorrys smelled of I lied.

The play just cries out ..

For just this sort of treatment, full of bile and anger and you certainly did that well. There is a cruel irony in all of this of course and the Juliet is clearly livid at her "lover" gone wrong. I haven't starred it because this write can really go on to become a superb write but only if the emotions, incidents etc are pointed up and sharpened. The anger is palpable and maybe a few days away will allow you to return more objective and refreshed to shape it. Kal

I think Kal there is a fine

I think Kal there is a fine line between poetry and writting therapy when using verse emotionally for myself. This reeks of the latter :) Some of my best is ''spewed out'' as is some of my worst. Thanks for your feedback, I will revisit in a few days when im in a different perpective. I think if i look back over the poetry/ writting ive done about relationships its important for the reader to know that first there was the abusive relationship that left me vulnerable to fall for the guy that walked when i was pregnant. Thankfully, I had time to heal and reflect on mind sets that led to bed decisions in choosing wrong relationships. Being a mother again later in life has also been beautiful and healing. Although i welcome my little ones father into her life if he so chooses, i am a little mad at him for his actions and have little trust. rather than tell him that though, i thought a healthy dose of writting else where would reflect things :) Sorry for the essey, I am candid if anything vix Optimism in adversity nutures positive outcomes

Wow I can share the same story along these lines

Good Morning Madam How this write was amazing to me and how I can relate to it. You know I can start writing along these very same lines as too of my life and my son's father but boy it would be something else, a whole nother book in it's making for sure. As we age we see and feel things that we once went through and now yes we can write of it in a very different light. I could go on and probably most honestly will start to do just that to release all that bent up emotion I have had at one time for the things my sons father did and what he does not do for his own biological son. It is sad but very much true and we only know as Mother's what we have endured all the years of that missing parent and the love that they missed out on may at a time in their life come a little too late. Unfortunatly that is truth. Madame you may have opened up a whole new can of worms to my writing as may be fit to just go and do it. Actually I have some in my journal I may just have to release here before long THE ABSENT PARENT and all that it does to a loving child. Sorry this comment so long but now you got me a rolling in the thunder. Love to you and maybe we can call it the rant of a lifetime Much love and know just of what you speak, and oh how lowly the beer can still swings in his life. Cause of it all. xoxoxoxoxo MagicsMona

Lol i dont mind at all, i

Lol i dont mind at all, i just thought id lighten the atmosphere with a light hearted naff rhyme. I believe in complete freedom of expression and think that posting on here opens the poet up to all sorts of feedback. not everyone will like my work which is what i expect :) I can grow from all sorts off feedback and if i was really offended i would pm the offender and discuss it with them or just ignore it. It takes alot to wind me up : ). Optimism in adversity nutures positive outcomes

Hahahahahahahaha The poem

Hahahahahahahaha The poem is ironic that I read it today, as I just wrote a true romeo poem. and as the "Loved" comment. There really was no need to use all caps LIKE THIS. If you do not like words you see as fowl, then do not read the poem with it, and keep your comments to self. Vixxy is a brilliant poet, and her words are truth.

Dearest Vicki,

I have been there too, so naturally your theme resonates with me. Laughed my bum off about your opening line :D fucking Romeo, eh? A couple of typos that should be corrected: l.1: Romeo(, R)omeo, where art thou fucking (R)omeo? - l.6: (You're) not hanging on my skirts - l.10: one step forwards(,) two steps back - ll.13&14: one little note (and) my calm all undone a little tiny sorry wrapped (and) homespun - l.30: your sorrys smell of (lies) not sure if it's sorrys or sorries, never tried to make a plural out of sorry before... Yours, ~Nina P.S. Ever read my poem "Haunted"? Very much about the same subject...
