Turning my back

I have been hurting over you
Hurting over my shattered heart
Dwelling on the past
Wishing things could change

But I have to simply walk away
I have to turn my back on what happened
Look away from all the memories
That caused this crack in my spirit

I am done with the tears
I am the done with the anger
And I am done with everything
We've made our choices

Now we stand here
Waiting for one of us to follow through
On our words

I'm turning my back on you
Not because I don't care
Or because I am mad
But because if I don't do it now

I don't think I will ever
Have the strength
To simply say goodbye....

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. Good flow and story. Remind me of music. The "should I stay or should I go" is the question we must answer many times in a life. I like the ending. Ending with a strong statement. A excellent poem.

"Now we stand here
Waiting for one of us to follow through
On our words"

This was the best stanza. I really don't make a good critique over free verse (Spoken word?) poetry anymore. But let me say this is nice. Keep writing.

You did a great job..!!!!

well you succeeded in conveying that rotten feeling of being trapped in indecision. When I get "writers block" (which usually results in me dropping the entire subject for a year or two!) it can be horrible. One thing I have learned to do that breaks that kind of stagnation: Pick an object, an emotion, an action and a place that you have never written about or preferably DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. Example- Rangoon (capital of Burma), cricket- the sport, boredom, and a pince-nez. Then create a simple scenario from those elements starting first with the one, then the next etc. The game is to include ALL 4 elements in the scenario. Like-Montana, love, glee and cattle branding! I guarantee that if you do that you will "unblock!" The next phase could be add to the mix first writing as a comedy, then as a drama, then as a action piece, etc etc. Or you could make up a similar system of your own, the basic idea being to expand your horizons and hopefully learn something new. After all these days you can google anything and get an education! It gives you a great method of coming up with totally new (and interesting) ideas and by researching one gains breadth and reality. The fun is in conceiving the type of person or character that would have all those items in common, or to create one who would...
