Breaking Down

by Toni   May 6, 2004


This smile i wear throughout the day
So warm, so soft and kind
Is just another of my ways
To keep you ever blind

As I stand here on the sharp edge
I know the fall is steep
I peer over the rocky ledge
And softly start to weep

All of this you cannot see
I will not let you through
I built this wall and threw the key
And so my sadness grew

Now this wall, it has grown too thick
I try but can't escape
I flail, scream, call, cry and kick
Bound by this sticky tape

I cant go forward, cant go back
I'm stuck there on the cliff
The will to live, I begin to lack
Looped in this mellow riff

So even though you're next to me
I'm still so far away
Together, we will never be
Until my dying day

Please rate or comment if u haf time :-)

    another great poem, just know i also have felt like this for very long...and if i knew what i knew now at your age, i'd let myself show, and not be afraid anymore, because it's not worth hiding who you are when it only brings more sadness to your heart. i love your poem, and i give you another 5
