Wounded Heart

by Erica Brown©   Jan 4, 2005


Swimming in all the tears,
Getting up the courage to fight my fears.
You stood there watching me drown,
Then stabbed me watching the blood stain my gown.

Again and again you continued to hurt me,
Wishing that out of your life I would flee.
But I'm still standing here,
Taking each stab without fear.

For I have not vanished,
But you have now been banished.
From my life,
So give me the knife.

Drop it in your heart,
Feel what you did to me at the very start.
There was never love or concern,
To my wounded heart you left to burn.

    not bad, again, the rhyming seems to brand it so it doesn't flow as well, sorry, i keep mentioning that, but the words and meaning of the poem is described very well, keep writing, you have some real talent! 4/5
