Built on Sand

by tainted melody   Jun 30, 2012


Wating for the words to come,
the ones to end my grief.
Hopelessly in love with you,
stole my heart just as a theif.

You have the power to destroy,
but also to build and strengthen.
You hold the key to endless days,
this heartache you can lengthen.

Your smile is a healing force,
your words a soothing song.
But maybe this has run it's course,
maybe your all wrong.

This relationship is built on sand,
unsteady, unstable, and weak.
I can only hope for more,
although our futures bleak.

I just keep coming back to you,
the ties I cannot break.
You give me just enough,
so that others I'll forsake.

Wishing you would just decide,
if I'm the only one for you.
So my mind can be at ease,
this peace, long-overdue.

    Wow! I thought this poem was really really good. The whole idea you used of a relationship being built on sand really conveys how u wanted it to. I thought that was a great thing to use b/c it makes the emotion in it deeper and I absolutely loved this. The flow was perfect, rhyming was well, and also the whole overall poem was great! :) that's my honest opinion. :p. Also, u broke the writing funk all of us have been in. Lol
