The Devils playground

by Chelsey   Jan 5, 2010


Complicated, aggravating, Dear God, it's not fair
I wish to grab your hand, runaway, take you anywhere
Fall in love is an understatement, I want so much more
But it's hopeless, out of the question, not what the future has in store

Confusion, frustration, it's all sinking in
I didn't realize it was supposed to be a night of fun filled sin
I must have misread all these signals, where the hell did I go wrong?
I thought your arms was the safe haven I truly belonged

Blinded, captivated, your words pulled me towards you
I'm afraid it's too late to say these feelings were untrue
I meant every word; I can't take back the things I said
Pass me some Tylenol; I can't get this pain out of my head

Dishonest, lies, is that was this was about?
My mind is racing and all that plays over and over is doubt
Breathless, hurt, thanks for leaving me with nothing to say
The heart is the devils playground; I didn't think you would play

    Very good message it's something a lot of people can relate too so it has a great target audience. I really like the structure how you state a theme or emotion at the beginning and then break down into it, I use it often and it makes something special. The rhyming is spot on except the wrong belonged is a little bit of a stretch :P. The flow is excellent. Great write!

    A lot can relate to this write. Good job with the rhyme; although I think that the second stanza could have been worded differently. But overall, beautifully/wonderfully written. There isn't much more that I can say other than you have a gift with writing poetry. Keep up the great writes. 5/5
