Salvaged.

by Courageous Dreamer   Apr 4, 2011


You latch onto my heart
speaking recycled rubbish
once more
as I swoon at the feet
of temptation,

for belief of artificial emotion
has hazed knowledge
yet still,
defeats my actions
like many times before.

Will I too be salvaged
like frayed phrases worn
on your lips
only to be used again
in future?

    I'm not gonna write you a novel but I will say I loved the first line. I could image some guy trying to say he's sorry to you and you're like go away lol. Such powerful thoughts in so few words very great indeed. You're writing has changed so much and it's a talent to be admired. Keep writing. -Nik

    I always love reading your writing. They always seem to bring me to tears. This one is so sad to just let yourself be hurt over and over again. Then to come back for more :(

    This ends the piece nicely. Brings tears to the eyes of the readers. It is so hard to think of someone offering theirself over and over to pain and heartache.
    Great job!

    Love, it's crazy how it can be a double edged sword. Especially when you think you've found the one...and even though things fall to pieces, you can't help but stay. Your words took the cover off a dark truth.

    I only noticed one thing about your very last line, "in future?" I wasn't sure if you meant to put a "the" in there or not.

    But this is truly a brilliant piece of work, a pleasure read. Take care

    You have a way with words, you have picked the right ones to create imagery, and a new meaning to common things. nice job

    Temps,

    I was a little suprised by 'speaking recycled rubbish' it took me off the poem for a second but once I realized what was being said and that is does actually make sense I found it really interesting.

    I wasn't too keen on artifical emotion, I just hate the word artifical it has been used too much but that's just personal opinion and I'm being biased lol. Just didn't like the way it sounded in the poem. Too stiff compared to your usual word choice that is bitter sweet. Artifical seems almost robotic to me and didn't work with the tone.

    The emotion is deep in the poem like always. I adore the emotional impact you are able to leave upon me.

    Liked frayed prhases that was quite a clever play on words, made it seem as though you used alliteration.

    A lovely poem.
