Trapped In You

by Sweet Disposition   Oct 3, 2007


I hate when you gaze right into me
Your smile; it vanishes instantly
You feel my deep uncertainty
But I tell you I love you, carelessly

My heart it screams so frequently
But I can't hear what It's telling me
Tears fall from my eyes so rapidly
When you kiss my lips so lovingly

This isn't how it was meant to be
Me loving someone else, so desperately
And when you say those words, my heart it bleeds
But I hold you tight, so stupidly..

    Thank you for the comment it really does mean a lot, I didn't use a conventional rhyme for the second last line, just to mix things up a bit, but I did use assonance so that it didn't sound too off-rhyme. Thanks again.

    I just read it again, and I still stand by my comment about the second to last line. I wanted to leave this comment, though, because when I commented before, I didn’t write about the flow and emotion of the piece. The flow was obviously very good, and simplistic. Each line rhyming with the line before and in such short, and tidy lines. I felt the piece was filled with genuine, powerful and heart-felt emotion. Even though the words themselves suggest differently, I think the character at the beginning is innocent and lacks strength, but by the end, they’re stronger, and hardened by this broken and straining love. This piece is going on ‘my favourites’. It’s great!

    I liked this piece, a lot, and I mean A LOT! I didn’t think using the same rhyme throughout a poem could be so effective and powerful. I thought it was just be dull and monotonous, but you’ve made it exciting and wonderful. I can safely say, you’ve inspired me. I mean, I don’t want to sound like a cliché, but it’s true, you have. You’ve made me a believer. I must say, though, I can see your intention in that second from last line, that doesn’t rhyme, but I think it would’ve been better to continue the formula all the way through to the end. As I said though, all in all, and great poem!

    I know the feeling. This poem is really good. It moves something in me. I find it so amazing how just some simple words stringed together one after another can bring out such deep feelings. Anyways, I really enjoyed this. Great work! =]
