Perfect, Yet Deadly Words

by Tammie   Sep 17, 2007


With your perfect, yet deadly words
You paint the smile on my shocked face
Feelings once hidden, now exposed
My missing pieces now replaced

Pushing me into the deep end
I forgot to tell you I can't swim
Will you save me from myself
Or let me drown, just like him

Cautious from past experiences
Expectations not so naive
But with your perfect, yet deadly words
I'm finding it hard not to believe

Mutual lust shared deep within
You aren't the same as the rest
Loving, caring and always there
You really quite simply are the best

I can't have you now or later
Even after this time I've waited
Our lust will stay shared just in our hearts
This is just too complicated.

** The end didn't quite say what I wanted it too.. but I couldn't think of anything else. **

    I like the context and the ideas. Not that this detracts from the poem, but i'm not sure about the flow and the rhyming. It's still a great piece though.

    This poem, i just can't actually and clearly see the picture though i know it's another unique piece (the flow went off a bit). about the last stanza i can't find any problem in it 'coz you manage to end it somehow smoothly (or perhaps, not so smooth 'coz of the flow i'm telling you earlier) aside from the fact that i'm aniticipating for more powerful and graceful ending. the ending made me feel like you suddenly dropped the words so easily just to say you have wrapped it all up and end it that way (just let your feeling do the work and not merely with your mind). hope that works and sorry if i offended you.. =)

    Excellent!

    Ok, for this one, The first line rhymes so well but not as the same as other lines but its okay, and I notice that the lines were forced. Well I gave 5 for the realism of your piece. Nicely done!

    Keep it up!

    It kinda sacres me how much I can relate to this, so I just had to comment.
    I loved the 'You paint the simile on my shocked face' line'.
    Again a great poem with good exposed emotions.
