Shielded Heart; Fantasy Thoughts

by Shædow Poet   Jan 10, 2005


A shadow around my soul,
A brick, a shield, a force
A voice inside my mind
"Don't let yourself fall".

But... I cannot help but smile
And let fall this barrier I have created
For once, my pain has died
And I can finally feel this joy.

Your touch is soft, it's like a reminder
You would die for me in trouble
I can feel safe from this world
I can love this living I have hated.

You judge not my shadowed ways
Nor this passion, this flame of hell
My clothes, torn, I am not a freak
I am the girl who stole your love.

Where has my bitterness gone?
I am stripped of my ways
Why don't I quiver now, with fear?
You'd never hurt me.

... And through time, I will remain happy
I will picture you not in my dreams
But as living reality,
As my own savior, my prince.

And throughout time you will realize
You will see me just as another someone
You will break my heart, tear it in two
These crimson drops will be my tears.

You will let me weep, forget my name
We will not even be friends
I had feared not then, but I know now
That love will always end.

... So my shield will not fall
I will not love once, nor feel such ache
I will never let yourself in my choleric mind
I will not let this fantasy be alive.

    for everyone that said that you didn't get the point across...it's because they cannot relate. I appreciate and understand this poem because the same words have scarred my mind. I love this poem, and I hope you know that you deserve a 5...

    haha, you remind me of me. my love poems are almost all darker. i liked the poem and gave it a 5. anyone who gave it less than a 3 was just jealous. you have been on my favorites list for a while, good job.

    I really like it, a poem need not rhyme to be a poem, I don't understand why someone gave you such a low rating. I think that it is very good!

    wow, I couldn't imagine anyone giving you a 1 on this! they were probably:
    a.jealous,
    b. mad they couldn't have written a peice like this
    c. Just to piss you off
    d. because of their own insecurities
    because this is a FANTASTIC love poem, very original too. This is one of those poems I wish I could give a 6/5 on. I loved this part:

    "You judge not my shadowed ways
    Nor this passion, this flame of hell
    My clothes, torn, I am not a freak
    I am the girl who stole your love."

    anyway, rating really does not matter, though it really boosts your self confidece and makes for a reason for you to be on this site (even though some may not agree). well, all I can say is to keep your head up high and keep on writing because I will make sure to read your work *adds to favorites*
    take care,
