You're Doing It Again

by Bradley Peter   Oct 6, 2006


Why did you do it again?
What reason do you posses?
You know you're doing wrong
You're just creating more stress

You've dug a deeper hole
How do you plan to escape?
Are you expecting a savior?
Perhaps a hero with a cape?

I know you're in love
But please, be more wise
This is not a love of the heart
But more a love of the eyes

You've been here before
You know where this path leads
In your heart of hearts
This isn't what your life needs

I know, I know you're right
But still my heart desires
My love burns strongly
Like the rush of burning fires

I know I've been hurt before
But that's all in the past
This time, I can feel it
This time it's sure to last

Stop being so negative
You're ruining my high
You always see the bad side
And that you can't deny

Now cheer up you sod
This is headed a good direction
Unlike other things you do
Like talking to your own reflection

    Well, I wasn't expecting this from you, but i agree with Bethan that I'm glad it has a happy ending. I like the hero with a cape line. That was original. I understand your comments on my poem. It wasn't my best, I know that. But I've been so frustrated lately that those words took it right out of me. But honesty helps you grow. I did write a poem called "Helping Me" literally like right after you critiqued me the first time. I think it's much better. Thanks for your honesty. And yes, you are in my favs...which is why I'm always commenting. lol Jpoet*

    I did get slightly confused at the end , because the structure changed slightly and you had a longer speech from the positive influence but when I read it again it became a lot clearer, I think its simply because there were 2 speakers and so you need to read it a couple of times to identify when each one is speaking.
    I really liked the idea of this poem though, of the two conflicting ideas,almost llike the typical devil/angel dialogue you see in cartoons. Its used really well here to balance out the fears and insecurities that come from dealing with something like love, and I'm pleased to see one of your poems has a happy ending!!!
    Love you
