Slow it Down

New guy. Different me. Same story.

There's so much I want to say
Too much I don't know how to convey
These words are bursting inside my head
But I force myself to be silent instead

What do you want from me!

The fury and rage fight to have their spot
But it's the sorrow which clouds my thought
Never ending questions of what and why
To figure out why you said goodbye

What do you want from me!

You handed me the silver and gave her the gold
Without a single care of the heart you hold
This succubus pulls you in dearly
To keep you from seeing her clearly

What do you want from me?

I don't want to be the one that got away
The one you lost because you wanted to stay
This regret you will always have to endure
Only because you were feeling unsure


What do you want from me?

Well written poem. The questions are made material with how you present them, and i think that blue was the perfect shade for the "Why do I try" in the heart of the poem. Hopefully the next male won`t overlook your awesome qualities, maybe he`ll see what he has ain`t silver or gold at all, but beyond those petty values. Anyways, great portrayal of emotions and thought in poetic form.

The form, flow and crafty design of this piece is amazing on it's own. The theme is powerful and thought provoking. I really enjoy how your poetry grips reality and those things that people deal with on many levels.

Big hugs!

A very tough position to be in that is for sure... you certainly got your feeling out in a genuine way.

A genuine piece revolving around
matters of the heart. No one wants
to be taken for granted, or a second
choice.. Beautifully expressed…

as far as its writing goes, this is great! :D definitely get the idea across clearly. nice concise couplets :) some thing i would change though would be the colour of the inlaid message, as it's hard to read (and not just that, but it makes the reader stop reading the main poem to figure out what the letter is supposed to be, a bit distracting).
what do i want from you?
i want more wonderful wonderful poems like this!
now get crackin! haha
