Never turn your back

by in.need.of.a.lucky.charm   Feb 15, 2007


So many words..
That were left unspoken..
Too many lies..
And promises broken.

You can't hold me down..
Although you have tried..
Wiped away my tears..
Everytime that I cried.

Don't scream at me..
I'm too far gone..
Don't pretend you didn't see..
You knew it all along.

In my weakest hour..
I won't let you know..
The pain I have inside..
I will never show.

But I'm screaming for you..
As I convince you I'm OK..
You'd think if I needed your help..
That Id be brave enough to say.

Kiss the back of my neck..
Remember your son..
Watch me blame it on the mistakes..
That I had once done.

Don't tell me it's OK..
Don't hold my hand..
You don't know sh1t..
Don't say you understand.

Don't touch my pain..
And touch my wrists..
They are just the signs..
That you always missed.

If this is you leaving..
Don't ever return..
Never turn your back..
Is a lesson you will learn.

    Ooh wow, very emotional. It was more sad then love-like. This really sounds like a sorrowful song, maybe you should think about making it into a song if your a musical person. The rhyming flow once again, was phenominal. Nothing seem forced, strong words, my favorite stanza:
    "Don't tell me it's OK..
    Don't hold my hand..
    You don't know sh1t..
    Don't say you understand."
    I know how you feel.
    I think I'm going to add you to my favorites..yeah I am. You and your poetry deserve it.
    5/5

    Very raw emotion. I feel your anger so strong. Excellent.

    Very very sad.. it hurts when the one person that you need to lean on doesnt realise your pain and acts like its not there, especially when you aren't strong enough to tell them how much your hurting. I hope that you feel a bit better now, cause the emotion in here was so raw it reminded me of a time when I was a lot worse off. I loved the words though thanx for sharing this with us all. Things will get better, just try and stay strong.
