Under Construction

by Lady Nik   Oct 23, 2009


We didn't have to be together
I told you I would wait...
Now things are tarnished
and I feel so out of place.
I'm trying my best to be strong
and let things just flow.
But the pain in my heart
is telling me to go.

It's hard to hear your voice at night
and not feel your sadness.
I want things to be normal again
I want to be rid of this madness.
Lovers we were but
time put a lock on that dream.
I know now that everything
is never what we want it to be.

What am I to feel
when I know your heart is hers.
Why does love hate me so much
is this what I deserve?
I wanted to be close to you
even with my reluctance
I can't let you into my heart
because now it is under construction.

    I think this part should be puncuated different to improve flow.

    I'm trying my best to be strong
    and let things just flow.
    But the pain in my heart
    is telling me to go.

    Change to:
    I'm trying my best to be strong
    and let things flow,
    but the pain in my heart
    is telling me to go.

    I thought the first stanza was more of a vent and how you felt hurt and then you went on and expressed more feelings... but we dont really get the idea of your title until the end. I expected for the whole poem to tie back to your title. But, I think this was just a vent so I dont really have any say in it, it's a personal write for you & something I will not suggest changes for. Hope you feel better soon, have to be patient if you want love to come to you.
