Same script, different past.

by Rebecca Bentley   Jun 19, 2012


This feels too familiar,
You've swept me off my feet.
You've made me feel so strong again,
I find it hard to speak.

But how do I fall in love again,
When I'm already damaged goods.
When my heart is still in piece's,
Because its already been broke.

I know I'll end up losing you,
It's always been the same.
To hard to find a wall to climb,
When my feelings never change.

The flowers that you send to me,
Mean so much more than love,
But it becomes my harsh reality,
That beautiful things die so young.

This fight with my emotions,
Every other man has lost.
The painful things I've gone through,
Came at an evil cost.

And even though you mean so much,
Letting you fight. Just isn't fair.
The best thing that I can do for you,
Is to walk away and leave you here.

Although, I want to make you happy,
I cannot help but build this wall.
All the men that made me feel this way,
Never caught me, but let me fall.

    'This feels too familiar,
    You've swept me off my feet.

    I find it hard to speak.'

    What the hell is this??? This is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE openings EVER!!!!

    Damm girl you can write!

    Ive yet to read your others but to me it looks like your a natural rhymer - i am too,

    The words you chose - perfect
    The rhyme scheme and flow - perfect
    Imagery was great too

    If i had a vote left i would have nominated this.i hope someone does, it deserves to be on the front page :-))

    5/5 all day long, well done !!

    Great end to this, good poem,

    One typo, I know I'll end up loosing you, (losing)

    Came with an evil cost
    should 'with' be 'at'?
    like the flow of the whole thing, no words trip you up.

    I like the imagery this line portarys

    To hard to find a wall to climb,
    When my feelings never change.

    You have managed to write a non rhyming poem that feels like it rhymes.
    thanks for the read
    (sorry I didn't return the favour sooner)
