In a Box

by Francine   Mar 18, 2007


(This is an older one I wrote when me and Billy were broken up, dated Friday, May 26, 2006 - actually I write this and later that night we got back together - and have been together since)

you can't see the pain in my eyes
you can't hear it in my voice
and even if you did
ignorance is your choice

your so cold
you fill me with so much pain
but i put you away
I'm not letting it happen again

in a box buried deep
things that made me feel close
a ring that meant the world to me
in the closet it all goes

and its for the better
even if i feel the same
and "what hurts the most"
is that you don't feel the pain

i want you to hurt like this
i think one day you'll see
that you lost something special
the day that you lost me

so i said goodbye
even if you didn't hear me
one day ill look back
and ill be glad that i am free

the songs, the places, the things
they WILL fade away
i just keep my head up high
and walk toward that day

and you will be just a memory
and i will be just fine
yet you will be the one
wishing you were mine

    This is very well organized but i lacks a little in emotion... i think maybe you can try to focus a little less on your word choice in sense of rhymning and a little more on expressing emotion..... not all poetry has to rhymn.... sometimes that gives it even more emotion because people dont normally speak in rythmns when expressing their emotions to others now do they.... but i still think this is pretty good......4/5
