Broken

A benevolent action- perhaps out of character But quite a beautiful caricature of intimacy! Was taking me in, an act of generosity? Or is throwing me out, your thoughts- (pure monstrosity!) The depth of my thoughts based upon curiosity You're the blood in my veins- the smell before rain Is that why I'd endure so much pain? Lay me down, build me up- what has fallen down as rain has landed now as tears, And what you'd built up as pain, has shedded from all fears You built me up, as my bones were strong and sturdy But then! You pushed me down, here I lay- so broken, and so dirty Will you lift me again, and show me love that can be true The only will inside of me, is the beautiful fact that I love you Lay me down, and lay beside me. Watch the sunlight fade away Just promise me we always will be, it's the only way that I will stay You've taken me in, now hold me tight- and whisper to me every night That my darling, you are here to stay, and everything will be alright I cannot bear the pain alone- I cannot walk the walk back home This knife that's pressed against my chest- Will be thrusted by the only one, that I'd given thee my heart to rest Confused by the emotion of his soul devotion Now I have a suicidal mind contemplation- I ache to feel his touch again (A subtle temptation)

Good luck in the contest. I've seen this mixed emotion in some of the kids I've worked with. This should be a winner. Vince

Dana'lynn, this is such a heartfelt poem. Many times those we love turn on us. I know you wrote this for Catie's contest, but there is a good deal of "internal rhyme" here. If you rearranged it a bit to fit the requirements for Deb Guzzi's contest, you would have an outstanding entry. This is really too good not to win! Love, Carolyn
