Painful Decisions

 

Her emerald eyes

are overflowing

with tears of pain,

sorrow and love.

They spill down her face

in brilliant sparkling lines.

 

The same she's cried 100 times,

only this time they seem worse

because they are for him.

The one who holds

oh so much power over her.

 

He holds her heart

within his hands

One squeeze to much

One grip to hard,

is all it takes

to end her dreams.

She's given him everything,

heart and even soul..

Only to have it shattered

and thrown back in her face.
What she really needs is glue

and possibly a band-aid..maybe 2

 

Nothings even happened yet

and she's allready torn in two.

She has no clue of what to do..

Does she stay or does she go?
Hurt them both or hurt herself?

 

She's waits one hour

for the call

that will ultimately

decide it all.

 

She's made her decision,

She's choose her path.

Everything her friend has said

has mearly been the truth..

 

He's not the person that he

that he was oh so long ago.

Something's changed

it wasn't her.

She wants the he back that he was

six long months ago. 

She used to be something to him

Now she appears to be nothing.

Just a toy to have by his side..

or a lover when she's called.

 

He's hurt her bad,

yet doesn't know.

She cannot leave

but needs to go.

there was once a curmudgeon who said,"Young writers, if they can refrain from doing so should not hesitate".
Your poem reminds me of what it was like when I was but a boy. six months seemed like an eternity. Your writing captures the essence of the young and not so innocent heart. Your talent is a given. Thanx!

Personally, I think of this as a good piece. But unfortunately for my fragile soul, I turned it in to my english teacher for a portfolio piece, and she completely ripped it apart. She said there were cliches and she treated it like a story instead of the poem it is. She also said there was no imagery or figurative language, and that there were many unanswered questions with no sense of resolution.

Stickz told me this was a must read and I see why she said so. It is beautiful to say the very least. The images are wonderful and moving. You an feel the pain throughout the words. A wonderful and powerful write and read.

I love the images that come to mind when I read this. This is wonderfully painful when you read it. It makes you feel for the girl who is s torn by what is going on around her. This girl is hurtting and your words are the rollercoaster that take us along for the ride. Wonderfully writen.
