I watch you walk away, my heart torn in two.
I thought that you would understand, but now I see the truth.
To hold you close to my beating heart, that's all I ever wanted.
But now I see all the lies, and the reason why I'll be forever haunted.
Love is a strange thing, it can tear your heart in two.
Stranger is the lust, that makes you blind from the truth.
Love is a strange thing, it eats you up inside.
Stranger is the lust, from it you cannot hide.
I fall down to the floor, my backs up against the wall.
The cold stone offers me no comfort, it will not catch me if I fall.
I cry no tears, and yet my heart begins to ache.
I wonder if I should run after you, or if it's just too late.
Love is a strange thing, it can tear your heart in two.
Stranger is the lust, that makes you blind from the truth.
Love is a strange thing, it eats you up inside.
Stranger is the lust, from it you cannot hide.
Eventually I get up, sighing as I stand.
I turn to walk away, just to prove to myself I can.
And I hear my heels clicking, through these empty halls.
The cold stone offers me no comfort, it will not catch me if I fall.
Love is a strange thing, it can tear your heart in two.
Stranger is the aching, when you know you're done and through.
Love is a strange thing, when you're done you don't know what to do.
Stranger is the wanting, the wanting for love to return to you.

It had a lot of emotion and hurt in them. I find that you've really done a great job.
Thank you so much for entering the contest and the best of luck to you.

Is this intended to be lyrics? It seems that it could be adapted into a song. The rhyme is good, but the flow is a little rough. The content is exactly what Punk Princess is looking for, I believe. Thanks very much for entering.

This was are really fun poem to write, I know that sounds wierd to, but it's true. I love it when in poems, because when I write poems I write them in rhytm like a song, repeat a really nice stanza. I haven't really seen anyone else do it, but hey! that makes me special! Oh yeah!
