My own sheer frustration
Let physical feelings deceive me
And my desperation let in the sounds of history.
Intoxication,
Excitement and elation.
Infatuation,
Unreciprocated, foolish admiration.
Distracting me from my promise
Defending what you wanted
Every word you write…
I look for truth in the lies.
Author notes
So you know how this goes...
we give good advice yet never seem to listen to ourselves
"If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues"- elton john "sad songs(say so much)"

It sounds like words pouring from a very sad mandy-heart and I don't like to hear such sadness from you! But it's excellent writing. You really made the reader *feel* what's on the page here. As always, your writing is superb.

Very good poem.

I really like this one, especially the last two lines

Awesome
I don't can't help with the title, titles were always my weak point. I love the poem though, very emotional. Good job.

I dig it....how about "deception", I don't know though, I'm definately not as literary as yourself
-
This seemed very emotional, I liked it. Should the "let" in the poem be "lets"? I don't know. I do know that you rock pretty hard though.
