Tell me Mama

by Meme   Aug 19, 2012


Oh Mama hold me tight,
tell me its all in my head.
I think I'm falling this night,
yet again; its what I dread.

On the verge of insanity,
it'll be a harder fall this time.
Cause hearts provoked by vanity
can succumb and commit a crime.

Although a million miles apart,
his whispers found their way to me.
Previously owned by his heart,
is what they kept reminding me.

Mama why do I do it all over again?
Why cant my heart just forget?
Why do I settle for a world of pain?
When I know I'll be left with regret.

    I can feel the sadness and pain in every word this poem have.
    Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem to us. It's like giving us a glimpse of a woman in tears, broken heart and in oblivion looking for unanswered question and a knight that will save her.

    Love love love it, this is my favourite kind to read, fast flowing and rhyming, i am just a sucker for them. I loved this one because I related to this and I got from it your desperation to let someone go, who perhaps does not deserve you, but your heart loves them and will not follow with your head. They still go back time and time again even though your head says you deserve so much more.

    Great work, love it! xx

    I thought this was a sad poem that resulted from a love one. What made me thought tht was the part where itsays something about he whispers and .. From a distant... So I thought that is someone from far away. I also liked that you are asking your mom directly which adds this tender tone to the poem. I like the rhymes and also how the stanzas were divided. The questions at the end were thought provoking and added more strength to this piece.

    The part that I remember the most is the part about regret.. I wonder what would make me you end Up with regret.

    But as I mention above, I thought this was about love and so my thoughts are that perhaps regret about loving this someone.

    Well done
