    So Much Your Heart Can't See [Rondeau]
    By: Twisted Heart

    There is so much your heart can't see
    Your thoughts are running wildly
    Your mind has tricked your soul tonight
    Put forth a thought that dimmed your light
    Then tangled you with so much ease

    Oh gentle one, I give to thee
    A tender breath of faith, for me
    Because doubt has you in its sight...
    Your heart can't see

    My love, I pledge, so wistfully
    Caressing with hope tenderly
    Among the moon and stars so bright
    Still your mind holds you too tight
    Since walls rise up to conquer thee...
    Your heart can't see.

    A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
    sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
    refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
    same metrical length).

    Scrap booked moments all lie to me --
    Looking to what we used to be,
    Two teenagers thinking it`s love...
    Of all that they`re so scared of.
    Making their marks on hearts, leaving haggard imprints.
    I kept the negative prints of scrap booked moments.

    We took down names of hearts cracked,
    Because a spine is what we lacked --
    Drowning in tears of memory,
    Is the angst that he`ll never see --
    Smiling up at me from a broken picture frame,
    Is a boy who broke my heart, and we took down names.

    Wishing I Never Did What I Did [Teranelle]

    I swore I'd never regret loving you,
    But life was never that easy on me;
    I'm broken-hearted and I don't know what to do.

    I am so much better than I used to be -
    Yet the pain bares down on my tattered soul;
    But life was never that easy on me.

    Incomplete, I'm trying to mend the gaping hole -
    But my heart probably doesn't deserve that,
    Yet the pain bares down on my tattered soul.

    You were all I wanted and all I had ever lacked,
    And you loved me, once upon a time -
    But my heart probably doesn't deserve that.

    I'm just wishing that you'd come back; I'd be fine -
    But deep down, I'm just a broken-hearted kid -
    And you loved me, once upon a time.

    I'm wishing I never did what I did -
    But deep down, I'm just a broken-hearted kid -
    I swore I'd never regret loving you;
    I'm broken-hearted and I don't know what to do.

    I have really been trying but I just cannot seem to get anything to work, I dont know why, so if everyone but me gets theirs in feel free to go on without me, i will try though.

  • dollwithafrown

    I'm sorry, I can't write this. >.<

    I've tried, but nothing is working, and I've had far too much going on lately to completely focus on it.

    Sorry again.
