Come back

Come back

A Chapter by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

Eh, just tell me what you think.

"
"No world is perfect...sometimes you just have to take some rain...."


If you can't tell me why you left me
At least tell me what you think it feels like
To have a bare knife shoved right in your backside
I can't see but I know you're crying at the bedside
We can't breathe, but we survive through the tough nights.
One night it's okay, next night's alright, 
Next night you wanna shove glass in their eyesight
But in hindsight you let anger control you
Kick them out, and drive yourself crazy being alone
Now you miss em'
I swear You'll slit my wrist after holding it proudly
Hold a bucket of my tears, and then say you're going without me
"Put down you're bags, Look at my face!"
My back and jaw is broken but i'll walk with you,soft spoken.
And through the pain
I can't say I love it when we fight
but i can pray that the last time, was last night.
Now pull the shards out of my back, I'll do the same
Now tell me you love me so we can restart the game
Neither of us expect any different but-
The game of life doesn't come with just one ending
So come back to me..

(Chorus) *Sampled from "Come back to me, David cook*


You say you're leavin 
 As you look away
  I know theres really nothin left to say  
Just know i'm here  
Whenever you need me  I'll wait for you
Come back to me....back to me....back to me..

(Chorus end)

(Bridge)
I've always heard nobodies perfect,
I've always said all love is worth it.
But it's hard fooling with that circuit,
Heartbreak is a shock that's always hurtin'
I'm not saying this is certain
But it's through the pain that heals
That you are gifted with a heart, a shield
It may be made of steel, but it was made to steal
To protect the both of you
Once everybody is over you
You can begin you're life, now let's fast forward to me and you....
(Bridge)

Overall, your poem does a good job of describing ambivalence . . . that is, in it one day, not so much the next . . . so true to life. The one thing that makes your poem a little hard to follow is that you switch pronouns. Sometimes "you" . . . other times "they" . . . sometimes "I" . . . other times "you" (referring to self) . . . Your poem will be more powerful if you stick to using "I" and "you" . . . make this mind-struggle between the two of you, up close & personal. When you lapse into "they" and "you" (referring to self), these pronouns put distance between the intensity & the reader. Your poem starts out with straightforward intensity, but then you waffle. Go ahead & tap into your deeper feelings, this is what will turn up the intensity. Hope this helps. I like what you're saying here. We've all felt this way, it's the very stuff of relationships.

Nice, emotional charged poem. Some i's that should I's, though and the second You're is supposed to your. Put down your bag, not you are.

last time, was last night-- can delete the comma.

Anyway, Your emotions definitely sine through, and believe me, it is a very relatable piece. Keep at it

It was gripping and profound and enjoyable. There are too many lines u've got up here that i could quote as worth quoting and that made me go wow. The lyrics u've composed is great, vivid and whats more, its rhythm does go along with that of the amazing David Cook song lines, yeah the perfect choice of chorus made. Love the theme, especially.
