You've ruined my life.
     Do you expect me to thank you?
You've never understood.
     Do you want me to trust you?

You've pushed me over the edge and I'm
                                                  falling,
                                            falling,
                                      falling,
to a place where I'm someone
                             I don't want to be.

Crashing into the unknown,
                             never landing on my feet,
my head filled with your screaming,
                             will I ever be good enough?

Love me,
       I cry.
Love me,
        and I'll eat up the lies you feed me for
                                                               just
                                                                 a
                                                               little
                                                             longer.

It's funny,
  almost,
      that the facades
           we've learned to love
               are who we are becoming
           and sometimes
       it hurts
   to realize that
there no longer is a line between what's real and what is fake.

Bruised and broken,
     I stand up once more,
         and brush myself off,
swallowing the bile in my throat.


I just want you to love me.

This is a good poem on its own, but the unusual format makes it great :D

Love is desired most by non-believers.

I enjoyed reading this, I can almost feel the pain and agony. I also can associate myself w/ these words and emotions. Great Job!!!! Keep up the work.
:iconlanalin:
Amazing. Im a poet myself and sometimes i find it hard to let other's see my poems because it opens yourself up to the world and critisizim and it lets ppl feel your pain and see the things you care about. So reading this really reminded me of a bad relationship ive been in, and it made me realize its okay to let others in. Whether its a small part of ur world or not. Thank you for publicizing this poem, Your very talented.

~*~ Love me or Hate me ~*~
:iconhollywoodheartts:
Thanks. That's exactly where I'm coming from-most of the time, I feel like I can't truly tell anyone how I'm feeling and poetry's just how I get it out. It's amazing to see that there are other people who understand exactly how you're feeling. :heart:

this is a great poem. i actually find your format really creative and very unique. i also like the line "You've pushed me over the edge and I'm falling, to a place where I'm someone I don't want to be."

i can almost feel and yes, relate to your pain.

..."they'll throw opinions like rocks in riots,
and they'll stumble around like hypocrites,
is it just me or is it dark in here?....
