Sometimes it's okay to cry

by Tainted Beauty   Dec 11, 2006


Remorsing over the things I've said,
I regret the restrictions I've put upon you,
I want to take back the pain I've caused,
I want to make it go back to normal.

Bowing my head in shame, for the way I tried to control you,
I don't let you live, but you deserve to,
Holding you back from everything,
I am sorry I have let you down.

Keeping you close to me,
I try not to let you wander,
I am scared to see what will happen,
Is it okay to be afraid sometimes?

She hurt me, and I don't trust you,
I don't believe a word you say anymore,
I miss the way we used to be,
So close in each other's hearts.

Take advantage of me,
Treat me like I'm ignorant, but I finally found out,
You try to hide things from me,
Lies and decite, is not what a relationship is about.

I want to hold your hand again,
And I want you to kiss me in a way that everything is all right,
I want to know you're still there for me,
I want you to know that I miss you.

Staying awake long into the night,
Trying to find the error in MY ways,
I want to know what drove you to this,
Because I know it's my fault somehow.

I hide from you,
So scared that you'll know how bad it hurts,
I keep my thoughts close to my heart,
Laughing at my emotions on the outside.

This is the last chance I've been given,
And I don't know what to do anymore,
I'm so scared of what is going to happen,
Maybe sometimes, it's okay to cry.

    It is always okay to cry. Just don't dwell on the past and keep moving forward. An old love is never something you should allow to suck you in. Learn from your mistakes and take the lessons in hand. I loved this poem. I'm a firm believer that poetry is not something made from the simple rhyming of words. Keep it up, and hold your head high.

    Interesting.. I think of instead of saying so many I's you can put things like:

    Bowing my head in shame, for the way I try to control you,
    I don't let you live, but you deserve to,
    Holding you back from everything,
    I am sorry I have let you down.

    Staying awake long into the night,
    Trying to find the error in MY ways,
    Wanting to know what drove you to this,
    Because I know it's my fault somehow.

    It just makes it flow better... But other than that, Steph, it was beautiful. I can feel your emotion.. I favor rhyming but you impressed me without it. Amazing Job babe...

    5/5
