Lock-down

by Meme   Jun 1, 2012


I refuse to welcome
you back. Arrogant?
No I'm not, its just that
I'm still under the
disappointment of
your last goodbye.

I think its time to shut
the doors of my heart
completely, no more
half-opened doors nor
windows, I'm declaring
a lock-down state.

There aren't any
heartbeats left for you
to bet on, you ripped-off
the minutes of my life.
I became a reckless risk
taker, until there wasn't
a lot left of me.

I'm now done gambling my
heart just for your sake.
How about we do it
differently? I'll play you
for your heart .. Yes, your
heart this time. Are you
willing to risk it?

    OMFG!

    How can I describe this poem, the strength, the IN YOUR FACE part.

    Of course the sadness was evident, the heartache, the fact that you were hurt and you are only trying to protect yourself this time around. It's like fool me once shame on you type of thing.

    Brilliant, awesome.

    The last two lines were the best, putting it back onto this guy. Would he want to be hurt the way you did? I don't think so!

    Awesome write hun, loved it!

    Umm... WOW!

    Like purely amazing! This is def. going into my favorite poem list. This is full of pain from deep with in the heart. Finally Not being able to handle it anymore and turning the tables around.

    The title got my interest and once I started reading I couldn't stop. It took me back to the days with my ex and relates to my current relationship too.

    I love this poem, so many ppl who went through this will relate. Penned perfectly, not one thing I'd change

    5/5
