Split

by Vanessa Lea   Jan 29, 2005


Don't speak,
Don't cry,
Don't laugh,
Just let me die.

Tired awake,
And active sleeping.
My eyes can't cry,
But my heart is weeping.

Look inside,
See, I can't let go.
You've ruined my life,
And I want you to know.

If the truth be told,
I want you near.
But you being around,
Is my deepest fear.

You've taken me over,
But you've left me cold.
and I know in my heart,
You'll be around till I go.

    These words help me understand you.
    I love the way it is written, rhymes and "flows".
    I envy your ability.

    This poem was alright but felt more like a narrative though your emotions are clear and blended with your words. My suggestion: Maybe go deeper with your descriptions.

    You have great talent for expression.

    If the truth be told,
    I want you near.
    But you being around,
    Is my deepest fear.

    Loved these lines. They really express the dilemma well.
    Great job keep writing.

    Very lovely poem. I thought that the last line "You'll be around till I go" was a little outside from the rest of the poem, but other than that, the poem was great.
