Unraveling

by *Charisma*   Mar 21, 2007


Beautiful boy I watch through the pane.
Thinking about you. I'm going insane.
My diary in hand, I write another song.
How many notes 'til I feel I am strong?

Soft slow music shatters my soul.
I've fought for too long. I've lost control.
All of my tears break silence in the room.
I tried to move on but it was too soon.

You're tugging on the strings of my heart.
And I've been watching myself fall apart.
I'd gladly give it up for you, everything.
But in the process, I'm unraveling.

I'd been wishing for someone to hold close.
When you took my hand, my heart let go.
Now I'm confused and getting drenched in the rain.
Is love supposed to hurt? Should I feel pain?

Dreams have stopped coming to me at night.
Instead lack of sleep says that I'm not all right.
Tomorrow is haunting me because I'm alone.
No where feels right. There's no place to call home.

You're tugging on the strings of my heart.
And I've been watching myself fall apart.
I'd gladly give it up for you, everything
But in the process, I'm unraveling.

Love sounded heavenly, but it brought me no wings.
Baby, I love you, but I'm unraveling.

    Oh wow..
    I frikken LOVE this!
    Each line was better than the last, the flow was flawless, and that ending has so much impact.
    The imagery you used created vivid pictures.
    You did a great job with this!

    This is good. I assume it is a song and that the stanza they are referring to is really the chorus since it is repeated.....At any rate, you did a good job!

    This is a really good poem! I love it. 5/5. My favorite part is probably the last two lines, but all of them are great. :)

    That m'dear, was bloody excellent!
    It could have been a song and it would still have been amazing

    "Dreams have stopped coming to me at night.
    Instead lack of sleep says that I'm not all right."

    The only thing i'd do is take out the 'that' in the second line. It kinda throws it a bit, but it's amazing the way it is as well.
    This is my new fave from you, lol
    5/5
