why does it have to be her?
this woman that I don’t even know
who binds you to her
yet leaves you hurting.
and why does it have to be her?
this person who doesn’t want you
who keeps your heart
and causes you such anguish.
tell me, why couldn’t it be me?
this woman who loves you
who wants you
and longs to let your soul fly.
it tears me apart
when you come to me weeping
this woman, I am
who listens to your heartache.
I didn't think it'd be so hard
just to be your friend
this person, I am
who now suffers beside you.
why does it have to be her?
that woman I can’t compete with
whom you love
and whom you will never leave.
Better your own truth, however weak, than the truth of another, however noble.

Re: Shaz's Poetry Thread
I think of you at odd times,
inconvenient moments.
and suddenly, there you are
your voice echoing in my head.
distracting me.
like when I'm driving home
and a moan escapes my lips.
or talking to someone
and a shiver runs through me.
stay away! leave me alone!
you invade my dreams
and worry my thoughts
and suddenly I can't breathe.
I think you should stop
jumping in my mind without asking,
making me tremble and quiver.
it's really not convenient.
it makes my life too odd.
thinking of you when I'm busy
doing other things
or worse ---
being with the one
I'm supposed to love.
Better your own truth, however weak, than the truth of another, however noble.

GODDAMN!
When you’re there, love
you are so incredibly there
you take me places I never knew
existed
but,
when you’re not
FUCK!
Will I never understand you?
You bring me to ecstacy
you drive me to drink
why
is it
so goddamn hard
Love?
I don’t even know
what it is anymore
I want to
SCREAM!
to cry out!
to weep
Oh, God
when will I know
that it’s over
if you keep coming back?

Re: Shaz's Poetry Thread
last night, I went to bed in winter
this morn, awoke in spring
my heart long chilled, alone and dark
what warmth did Robin bring
the sun, once more, lit up the sky
the clouds began to go
my Robin's song, a joyous note
and hope began to grow
I do not know what may come next
or songs we're yet to sing
I'm only sure my lonely heart
was waiting for the spring

robin’s song
last night, I went to bed in winter
this morn, awoke in spring,
my heart long chilled, alone and dark
what warmth did robin bring.
the sun, once more, lit up the sky
the clouds began to go,
my robin's song, a joyous note
and hope began to grow.
I do not know what may come next
or songs we're yet to sing.
I'm only sure my lonely heart
was waiting for the spring.
the heat of summer beckons now
while spring is still not here,
bobbing close with promises
my little robin, dear.
soon autumn will be calling me,
then winter's chilling frost.
and robin will be leaving here
I love at my own cost.
for winter’s tale will yet be told.
though spring did never come.
my robin has flown home today
with songs still left unsung.
I thought that I would grieve his loss
and passing of the spring.
perhaps my heart alone again
would cease to want to sing.
but robin, gone, remains with me
his song still fills my heart
and spring will come again one day
it’s own light to impart.
remember me, my robin, dear
my love for you was true.
and should you find your way back here
know I would welcome you.

Re: .sometimes I think
I just can’t take it anymore
it seems to be too hard anymore
not sure how to just go on
can’t get out of bed anymore
take one step at a time anymore
or make it through another day
can’t make some coffee anymore
climb the stairs for dinner anymore
or take care of the little things
can’t listen to you anymore
care about your problems anymore
or even be a human being
can’t laugh or smile anymore
keep on breathing anymore
or cry myself to sleep again
sometimes I think
it’s just too hard to try anymore
no more one day at a time anymore
just stop a moment and breathe..and I miss you most when it's raining...when it's cloudy and gray I can almost hear you say...

Bit of a focus in all these pieces - ie of heartbroken frustration... I hardly feel qualified to comment as my poetry approaches things from many different angles ie doesn't have the zoning-in that yours does... but in time you need to broaden the scope in the use of language tho not necessarliy complicating what's already there.
It's late over in UK so I'll try to expand on that tomorrow. Keep therapising through the poems
Re: Shaz's Poetry Thread
I actually do write about other things once in a while. The once before this last one is not about love at all. Though being read next to the others it could be excused to think it is.
The thing is, I absolutely suck at sitting down and writing. I've never been able to say "I'm going to write about a tree" or whatever and turned out anything I even half liked. This is why I will never be a *real* writer, I guess. I write when I'm trying to capture a feeling. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I am, however, interested in your comments and ideas. I wish I was better at giving feedback myself. My head is really just not there at the moment.
