A Grieving Heart

by JJ   Aug 2, 2005


You perceived me all wrong
I can't deal with this reality
my heart is not nearly that strong

You tell me that you're not coming back
Am I suppose to just understand?
How do you expect me to react?

If you believe that this is best
than where does that leave me?
Am I the one to blame for this mess?

I don't want to have to choose
Because I love you both
It's you I don't want to lose

You know I have feelings too
You aren't the only ones
Don't I have I say in this like you do?

Put yourself in my place
View everything through my eyes
Can you see what I face?

Don't tell me that you know how I feel
Because you don't know at all
If you did this pain wouldn't be real

Our lives don't have to be this way
Mommy please tell me that I'm dreaming
when I wake up this nightmare will go away

*Sometimes you think you're strong but when something happens like this, it's hits you harder than you thought

    The way i understand this...it's like having to put everyone else before yourself constantly just so they can have a shoulder to cry on but there's no one left for you to grieve with...it gave me a cold and lonely feeling on the inside.

    I liked the rhyming scheme. I thought it was very unique. :) And the flow was smooth as well.

    Lol, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, i'm only thirteen, but i'm sure that there are greater minds younger than myself.

    You've never been to Georgia?! I've lived here my whole life...but it depends on where you're living. Where i live is the neighborhood that has to get worried about getting shot up with driveby's every week (but it's not so much as a worry anymore, we're used to it) and things like that, but where another part of my family lives, it's just some nice southern comfort. :) You should try and visit here sometime! We have a Six Flags. O.o LOL

    Peaces. //Ari\\

    P.s.- What part of GA does your family live?
