Caught in the middle of your twisted game
Lies running so smoothly through
Held back the truth on the tip of your tongue
Giving me a false comfort of security
There's no point of holding onto a shattering heart
Our pathway has collided once again
Our footprints of long ago are still imprinted there
Drowning in my tears for so long
There's nothing left to cry for
Ripping my own heart out
Better than letting you do it yourself
I'd rather chew on broken glass
Than keep living in the past
And waste my time analyzing words
I know you didn't mean
You've changed for the worst
Cheated your way out of the game
You're steering me into my own demise
Rather crushing my own heart so I can no longer feel
You're overpowering me...was it to cover up your own fragile heart?
Stuck in the middle of the four walls
I'm in too deep
Forcing on a smile to confirm that I'm not fragile
Standing on that thin line tempting to fall off the edge
You've never have a grasp of a deep understanding
Consistently pushing me away..you're in your own isolation
For all of this, I'm better off without you
For the amount of time I've spent
Trying for your heart, I have nothing left to show
Torn between my conscience..I've finally choose my path
Walking out..leaving those doors behind
...You were my favorite waste of time...

psychedelic wasteland
I was just reading this and it totally narrarates how I feel right now.
Why does life have to be so complicated? If only love was simple, eh? -
really enjoyed it with some nice expressions....and those words did leave in me some pain also...
-
Really liked this piece from beginning to end.
Really enjoyed the ending:
Torn between my conscience..I've finally choose my path
Walking out..leaving those doors behind
...You were my favorite waste Of time...
(not sure why "Of" is capitalized in the last line.)

"Stuck in the middle of the four walls/
I'm in too deep."
I love that line.
A little awkward grammar in the last stanza, but other than that it was great.
Good luck in the contest. -

Read once, read twice, read three times over~
Mmmm, the tone set in this poem holds of someone dear striking a beloved down. Although it seems the speaker in the poem appears to have reached an understanding and acceptance that who they used to trust and love is no longer going to be anywhere as close as they used to be. Well, to cut straight to the point, I'll still respond to you and all, but you're no longer a person of great importance of me. And cold shoulders here and there.
Anywho, good luck with the contest! And here's a marshmellow
I didn't take a bite of it!
Ibar
P.S. grammer errors on stanza 3 and 4. "to" should be "too." and "you're" should be "your"
