Blackheart

Everytime i look at you i see
my past my present and my future
all wrapped up
so perfectly.

It would be so easy just to be with you
To say good-bye to all of the reasons why..
It could never work with him..
And yet,even now..
I can't seem to say good-bye..

He can't make me happy. not like you could
He could never be the man I need
not the way you would

His love is superficial
and I guess that so am I..
Why else would I hang on
just to hear his pretty lies..
When I know in my heart of hearts
I should walk away.. just say good-bye.

A million dollar smile
cant disguise his cold black heart .
He may momentarliy light up the room..
but his smile can't light the moon..
not like you do..

A pretty face, cannot erase..
The cold black heart inside..
I can't believe that I have become
so meager and so shallow within..
But I guess that I have become what I despise..
It would seem I'm just like him..

Trading a beautiful face..
for love's warm embrace
And overlooking all I have ever wanted
and still I push it away..
Ignore the true beauty that lies within.

And what does this say about me..
Oh how I long to be set free
From this shallowness,
that eats away at me..
And from his cold and so blackheart.
That holds me captive..
In it's cold embrace.
A Beautiful face..
Can never take the place..
Can not begin to erase..
A cold black heart.

We write to learn about ourselves and this teaches us about others. I think you got an 'A+'

Terrific poem, thank you. Well.....seems as though one feels the tug to venture that step of blind faith. No other could ever advise you. I offer you a smile (plus thank you for your past kind words) and nothing more. Time will pass. Things will change. When in doubt, turn left. (an old stoner euphemism, it never really took us home, only off to new adventure)

I think he'll know its for him if he reads it.
I know the feeling of not being able to say good bye.
You executed those feelings in a beautiful way.

Excellent! But that's natural for you. angel Once you see and understand the beauty, warmth, kindmess, and love within yourself, as I and many others see. you will see what has happened and be able to truly "share" who and what you are with someone in eternal bliss. I understand and you are stepping in the right direction. wine hug bouquet

The fear of letting go of one branch and leaping for another.
Love knows no fear. If we could learn to fly on the wings of love. I am new to this, discovered a small corner of the world where poets gather and share their hearts feelings without the fear of fear itself. Thank you Quietstorm.
