you can spend so much time in a household together
that both become sick of the other
always up eachother's ass
providing the sense of being smothered
the living room becomes smaller
as the towels lay around
the kitchen becomes empty
as the abdomen frowns
someone you thought you knew and loved
rages as the devil you knew before
anticipating movement that was once sacrificed
for the healing of living to restore
how can you learn to be happy
if you keep giving someone the power
the journey that began a long time ago
was to no longer be a coward
again, the issue at hand
is when do we take it all back
leaning on contentment as a get-me-by
just throws all confidence off track
i had the most beautiful dream again
the feeling of holding my kids
the man didnt know me said i cold take them home
enjoying the moment i could finally relive
it saddends me knowing the distance
the lengths that people will travel
to destroy another person's world
wasting the rest of their time to unravel
i really hate this world today
i've seen too many bitter things
it could be worse, i should be thankful
but for what its worth, it really stings
so, again, we ask our selves
approaching the crossroad we come upon
are we in this relationship for love
or is the feeling really gone
i've thrown away all your apologies
torn them up one by one
card after card after making me cry
my limit is reached, i'm almost done
we know it all too well this time
why i plant myself on solid ground
you told me i could never make it alone
if i want my kids to be found
i ask u how does that make you feel
and what you are gaining from this
the only response is you want me to stay
burning my emotions in the midst
as u wish my dear sweetheart
its your game, not mine, we play
i offered to give u my love and dedication
yet you stare the other way
you lack a mother's love somewhere
trying to hold what i possess inside
i cant play that role to you my love
i have three others in which to confide

This was very sad for me...seems as if you have been through a life of rollercoaster rides...searching for love and life. I hope eventually your coaster comes in on a smooth landing. Best thoughts for you always, ~Tia

Very Well Done!
I really love the flow and emotion to this. a great message. =) my favorite two paragraphs are
"i really hate this world today
i've seen too many bitter things
it could be worse, i should be thankful
but for what its worth, it really stings
so, again, we ask our selves
approaching the crossroad we come upon
are we in this relationship for love
or is the feeling really gone"
I know this sounds stupid but can i put those in quotes and put them with my other quotes on my myspace? just give me your name and ill put it beside it at the end to give you credit. [?]
lol I really like how the whole thing isn't cowardiss at all, its like talking in your head and your thoughts and confusion on the whole idea of someone ruining your life sorta and trying to earn a love only reserved for your kids... or did i get it completely wrong? I think everyone gets something out of every poem they read, and apply it in their minds to their worlds, i just really like this piece. mind if i bookmark it? =D Thank you so much for sharing!
Please respond about those two stanzas?
