Tarnished Forever?

Contributed by Debz on Wednesday, 11th September 2002 @ 06:21:23 AM in AEST
Topic: InternetLove

The power that others opinions have
are unlike what you imagine
You believe you are in control
and nothing they say will matter.
But when they place doubt in your mind
it's usually there forever.

Once, we shared everything
our hearts, our most intimate secrets.
We swore that nothing would come between us
and that nothing else would matter.
Yet, deep down you know
what we had could be tarnished forever.
I have tried so hard to make things right,
to prove to you that what they say are lies
I approach you each and every night
but something is now missing,
lost....if you like.

You try to hide it, I know you do
but you forget how well I know you!
You say you trust me, you believe in me
yet you are now so distant,
your love no longer runs free
and inside, I feel an empty space
the space that you used to fill, my love.

My feelings for you are not tainted
and nothing they say will change that.
For I can fight against the lies they create
the betrayal of my friends
and the pain it creates.
But I need to know, my love
what will it be?
Will you open your heart again to me?
Or am I simply too late?
Have their lies consumed your mind
and put out that fire in your eyes?
Or are you now simply too weak to try?

You know how I feel, deep inside
and maybe you will be able to find
the love that's lost within your heart
I've done all I can to mend this
but I cannot do it alone
and you cannot light a fire
in eyes that are wet with tears
in front of mind that is filled
with confusion and fear.

I gave you my heart, it's yours to keep
My soul is with you when we sleep
My mind was once eased with thoughts of you
but now it is troubled with thoughts of losing you
and I can no longer pretend
that what is happening isn't there
You know in your heart just what is right
So now I leave it up to you
and know that I will always be there for you
regardless of what you decide.

Good write, a little long but understandable. It sucks how much someone's stupid little lies can affect our lives. Sometimes we spend a lot of time and energy proving that it was just that... Just a Lie. Keep writing this is very good.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
