In My Place

by xToBeWithYoux   Feb 20, 2009


Keeping my grace,
I'm in my place,
but I'm to blame,
This is my shame.

Grasping for reason,
I'm drowning in treason.
The blackest blasphemy,
you won't forgive me.

Running too fast,
air is rushing past
your escaping shadow;
My heart is so shallow.

Catching my tears
as they roll, my fears
escaping this mess,
the dread and distress.

Sitting here alone,
the darkness has grown
into an old friend;
I'm at my end.

Thinking of you,
too good to be true.
Just go, live your life,
I'll cradle this knife.

    With this poem it seems like ur being hurt and u would rather "cradle" ur pain.

    Thinking of you,
    too good to be true.
    Just go, live your life:
    I'll cradle this knife.

    this seems like u want him there but ur pushing this person away and tht u could make the pain of them leaving be easier to deal with wen u use another pain.

    i can totally relate to this poem its really good. the flow is good but some lines dont flow the right way. like ther missing a syllable or something but other than tht really good :D

    From the very beginning of the poem, I was captured. Something about the bitterness behind your words, and the sting of blame the reader can feel. You made this very easy to relate to, without taking away how personal it really is.

    The only thing I found with this poem is that you started off so strong that by the very last two lines, the emotion isn't quite as strong. I don't know, maybe it's just me and the way I read it, but to me it felt off. Everything else was flawless, though.
