Pain

Rip the earth in two with your words

You didn't think when you sent me to the grave

Can you kneel before the king and say I'm clean?

You rip out all I had just to say that you've won

You desired my attention, but denied my affection

Steal my heart and break my pride, I have nowhere to stand and nowhere to hide

I'm sorry

I never meant you any harm

Now my heart stumbles on things I don't know

My tears feel warm as they fall on my forearm

Close my eyes for a while

Force for the world a patient smile

My weakness I feel I must finally show

I'm scared of what's behind and what's before

How can you say that your truth is better than mine?

Tell me now, where was my fault?

I won't run

Not in this mind and not in this heart

I will hold on hope

I'll find strength in pain and I won't change my ways.

You had the choice, you've made it now

The sun it rises slowly as you walk away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind

It's too late for you and your white horse to come around

You have gone too far this time, you have neither reason nor rhyme with which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

I feel like a large percentage of this poem is actually song lyrics. Do you intend it to be that way? I might include a note about it, just for maintaing artistic integrity. Be careful about the re-use of imagery and taking the victim role within a poem, but the way in which the songs are fitted into each other here is suitable to the topic at hand.

I do partially agree with you Lena, but I meant literally. It actually has lyrics from different already written songs by different bands. I think Mumbford and Sons is in there, and some other bands. Again, like I said it's not necessarily a bad thing but something that should be noted.

I agree this sort of does seem like it could be a song . Regardless , I think it's a great poem and I enjoyed reading it because I could feel the emotion and pain in the poem. Great job!
