Carving your name

by fvalconbridge   Jun 20, 2007


A name is carved into my heart,
Itâ??s stings and pusses and bleeds a lot,
So every time I see you,
it hurts a little more,
Just to remind me its there.

As if I dont have to put up with you voice enough,
Thats tearing holes in me,
And your sight is burning my flesh.
Im constantly tortured when youre around,
And the pain gets too much sometimes.

I carved your name into my heart,
But it wasnt done all at once.
It took ages,
And normally I dont allow this to happen.

To begin with,
It was little pangs that reminded me I was alive,
Then as the blades scratched harder and deeper,
It became too much,
So I backed off.
But the further I went, the more it hurt.

I have to live with a name scarring my heart,
But its scarred my mind and body too,
I didnt ask for this,
All I did was love you,
And all you did was force that blade into me.

    *Thus stanza really stood out to me. I'm a cutter and I know too well what this feels like. I think you did an exceptional job on this poem. The title really drew me in and made me want to read this and I wasn't disappointed. I like how well this flows. I think you really told a sad common story in a creative way. I'm gonnae have to read more of your work, this was great. Keep it up dear. Nik*

    I love this. You showed such strong emotion and it was a really good concept. Most people could relate to the pain the person is feeling. I just have a couple of suggestions, i'll put them in between ??.

    It?'?s stings and pusses and bleeds a lot,

    As if I don?'?t have to put up with you?r? voice enough,

    I carved your name into my heart,
    But it wasn?'?t done all at once.
    It took ages, ?this line doesn't really flow, maybe yu could say this in a different way? Even if you replace the word ages with so long or something?
    And normally I don?'?t allow this to happen.
