What You Do To Me

Take the fear that you may have, and you use it as fuel to your fire.

You never once gave me the time of day,
nor thought it possible in any way.
That I might like to get to know you too;
instead, a solemn life with lonely views.

You make believe that you are so depressed;
when in reality you're on a quest
to ruin the lives of all those who dare
and seek your attention; none could compare.

You think this is a game that which we play,
and to my bewilderment and dismay,
a wounded heart is nothing to muster
when the broken pieces crave to luster.

You're the reason I have hate in my heart,
and the reason I wish this did not start.
The crippling effects of your stained love,
had me fitting your hand just like a glove.

You played the part so well it seemed too real;
the once-mended pieces of my heart feel
like they have been shattered for the last time.
You've struck me like a bell with broken chime.

You disgust me in every damn way
that I cannot truly put on display
words that I've written for your cold-hearted eyes
that seek only to never find their prize.

Author's Note

Inspired by a song I recently listened to. No I'm not sad or anything, actually perfectly fine.

I love how songs inspire us! A lot of Simple Plan's music or rather lyrics are what sometimes inspire me to write about some of these topics. I can relate to this piece though! There are some guys that I'd love to get to know, but they don't even give me the time of the day. Which really sucks since I really like the guy! It's upsetting.
Anyway, this is such a great poem and one of your best! :)

Thank you very much! It's actually inspired by Go Radio. Not sure if you have heard of them before. Their new song Go To Hell got me thinking of past times when this basically happened to me! Glad you enjoyed it!

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

You're very welcome! :)No, I haven't heard of them but I'll listen to them sometime soon. Haha yeah songs do that to me too most of the time! xD

A very powerful write of the passionate hate one can have for the masterful thief’s of hearts. The one that manipulates others to betray their own hearts simply for the thrill of the unsatisfied hunger of attention.

I find music a constant inspiration, strange where the journey takes us and I think its great to write about songs if they reach you :)
This is potently emotive - really shows the state of emotion!!!
