Trading Off Between My Open Hand and Swinging Fists

by Tammie   Mar 30, 2008


This just doesn't come naturally to me anymore,
But you're right, nothing about this ever was.
The beginning was just a facade to be broken
And the end taught my heart a lesson unneeded.

With a fist full of change and absolutely no sense,
Walking in circles would have meant more to me
Than anything you ever did or said, just simply because
You never really cared about anyone but yourself.

So I'll leave it be and pretend like nothings changed,
Because other than an underlying want of something,
I always knew that you were just a lie telling the truth
And amid it all; you somehow believe your own bad advice.

Trading off between my open hand and swinging fists,
I struggle to leave with stinging words in my bag and
Fight still left in me to prove that you were always wrong,
But with a head as big as yours, it will take only her to show you.

    Wow I couldnt completely comprehend the message after reading it once which made me want to read it again and it just blew me away! The way you used words in this piece was flawless and you created phrases Ive never seen before which was different and refreshing to see. The imagery complimented the message nicely which was amazing. I loved the last line because the part about her "big head" made me laugh which was a nice way to end a poem. I loved how you wrote in a way many could relate to their own lives and interpret it differently. I've lost a selfish friend myself and oh boy am I happy they are not out of my life. Well done my dear .. I enjoyed reading your newest pieces and thank you so much for your comment on my poem .. means a lot. Well done *5/5*
