Tied Together With a Smile

by *Charisma*   May 4, 2007


I've lost the faith to keep going on
And my will has walked away
Hope in tomorrow doesn't last long.
It will end the same as yesterday.

I can stand next to you and feel apart
Because your mind isn't here.
Just like I hold you close in my heart
You hold this new stranger dear.

The thread tying what I had together
Is loosing itself through my holes
Inching away like hopes of forever
Leaving behind a barren soul

Each time I'm around you it gets worse
And these tears barely stay in
Then later on in them I immerse
As they tear me down once again.

It's an illusion that I'm not really falling
Because I've tripped quite awhile.
But you can't see I'm truly crawling
Because I'm tied together with a smile.

    I adore this...this was frikken excellent!
    My favourite part would have to be the first and last stanza.
    The first is such a powerful opener, really pulling the reader into the poem and the last is so intense and such a perfect way to wrap up.
    Word choice and rhyme scheme are enjoyable and I thought the flow was flawless throughout.

    A good piece, with a lot of passion within it. There's more I wanted to say but I've got to get going, sorry.

    P.S. Thanks for your suggestions on my poem 'Something I wish to say'. I did take notice of them and I've made the corrections
