This room has been emptied while my mind is packed, My blue eyes looking around like a quarterback whose been sacked. My legs losing blood as my tears fall off the side, Writing how I feel on a page in order to try and hide. Got these bullies waiting for me to crack even as love mocks me, Making it hard to see as my heart loses all sense of clarity. The lines blur even as another pedal falls from the stem, Keeping me out of sight of all like a charred gem.

About this poem:
When you have looked for love in all the wrong places you become numb when you don't feel worthy of the feeling.
Looking for love in all the wrong places, sounds like a country song. The charred gem is a neat idea. It really does make the bullies less if you have love in your life, I know from experience.
