It's Not Me, It's You

I'm going where you're leading,
but you're laughing while I'm bleeding,
and because of all your cheating,
we will never
be the same.

I'm begging and I'm pleading,
and my heart is quickly beating,
'cuz this monster that you're feeding's
getting mighty
hard to tame.

I'm shattered and I'm broken
from the lies that you have spoken.
All my dreams are flayed wide open,
and my hopes are
all but dead.

But now you're the one who's crying,
and your cold facade is dying,
'cuz you'll have a hard time lying
with a bullet
in your head.

    oh...I can think of an array of chords that would go with this...I mean you can do anything with this...blues...ballad....country.....blue grass...... ..........anything.
    This was written with the precision of a songwriter.
    You are prolific as much as you are articulate.
    The next Carol King....great songwriter...
    go for it lass....
    Enjoyed this a great deal.

    Love and Peace,

    whooaaa!!! and the laughing, cheating breaking hearts with deceit and lies and leaving ones dreams "flayed wide open" can certainly provoke one< especially in love, to be the one to pull the trigger. powerful write

    thank you for entering my contest and good luck with the judging

    OMG!!!!!!!!!

    sorry but theres just no other way to explain this!
    I was reading along and the rhythem was so good, it just kept getting faster and faster until I came to the end (and OMFG what an end!) and I came screeching to a hault.
    This whole peice is bleeding with pain and suffering but it's carried on strong wings thanks to that last line that packed a wicked punch!

    Good show!

    It does seem like a song. Sorta reminds me of Greenday. SHort quick meaningful stanzas without a chorus. Nice poem. Thanks for entering and good luck.

    Wow

    Obviously, the end is magnificent. Sometimes crimes of passion can seem so understandable although tragic. I really enjoyed this poem. It is so hard to stop a bleeding heart. I can so relate to this...

    Hehe, very catchy, made it re read it numerous times. It gave a twisted, vindictive feel in a sense, which appealed to my dark humor. The structure is wonderful, the rhyme is perfectly done. I loved every line, and therefore cannot give you a set of favorite ones.

    That was so cool. Sorry to be so informal, but that was freakin' sweet. The ending was like a Martin Scorsese
    flick, or Tarantino.

    'cuz this monster that you're feeding's
    getting mighty
    hard to tame.

    You're clever is abundant.

    You Rock!!

    Wow...dark and edgy...I like it. I didn't see that ending coming. Way to surprise. I really like the rhyme and the way you ended each stanza. It was sort of a different arrangement. Very nice. I especially liked the 2nd stanza..."cuz this monster that you're feeding's getting mighty hard to tame." It's so true that sin is like a monster inside each of us, ravaging us to the point that we are unrecognizable and do thing that we'd never do otherwise. Well written!
