Notes & Grace Notes


Belle

the sins I`ve done

the sins I`ve made

oh my life what a shame

living my life just missing you

the only dreams I have are of you

I forget the hurt

and

ignore the pain

I live a heartless life

I`m going insane

I cant take the hurt so I`ll hide it away

I will put you in my little box of insanity

and shame

live this life quietly and still

thinking of you once gives me the chills

so I go back to my box and take you out

cry for a while till I get it all out

think of how much you hate me

for something I didn`t do

so I throw you back

like you would a shoe

have all this anger and pain

I`ll hide in my closet

in the dark

watching the rain

only to hear someone calling my name

I look to the sky

only to see it dark and gray

I want this all to go away

cover my eyes

hide my tears

bottle up all my fears

just to keep it hidden

so no one would know

the pain you left behind

I look around to see its you

you look around and see me to

bite my lip

make it bleed

all I wanna do is cry and scream

but I keep quiet

and still

I want to say its all your fault

but I have to just let you go

my heart it breaks

as I talk to you

trying not to scream out at you

as a tear roll down my cheek

I open my eyes and see it`s a dream

I go and talk to the moon

wishing I had you

so I go to the close

where I threw my little box

open you up

i want this to stop

I scream to god

just let me let him go

I feel like I`m going insane

hells what I`ve been threw

Thru the "box"
harvey gable
Wonderful how the speaker compartmentalizes the angst. Word choice is strong. The use of motion...slinging the container about, creates a great visual. The emotional shifts, perhaps contained in separate stanza's, might possibly intensify the element of self loathing. Well done Belle. Welcome. Say Hi to the Moms. HG

Thank you
Belle
Thanks Harvey. I love the input on what you have said. I worked really hard on that poem. I was going threw a rough spot in life and thats how I felt. I really have a box I keep everything that is and was important to me in there. My mom says Hi and she misses you :).

There's a lot of emotion, for sure.
Mr. Nuts
I wonder if you might be able to provide more clues as to what specifically the other person has done towards you/to you, etc. I realize that's a very personal request, but I'm not here to investigate, but rather to learn, interpret, and enjoy. So I wonder if there might be some dramatic way to end it with a specific example. Maybe one line, maybe two. Just some tangible insight, as opposed to the vague disturbances listed. That may be just the thing--because you wouldn't have to share more than that, but you could point all of your negativity toward perhaps those one or two specific things. Just a thought. If it helps, that would be some kind of small miracle on my part. Thank you for sharing these feelings, at any rate. Very powerful.
