I'm Standing At The Edge

I’m standing at the edge
Waiting for the final hit
Your selfish words be the cause
Even if you deny it

I’m standing at the edge
Knowing it’s almost over for me
Realizing I could have changed
What now is my destiny

I’m standing at the edge
With tears streaming down my face
Knowing without a doubt
It’s my fault I’m at this place

I’m standing at the edge
Waiting for the final hit
And it’s finally happened
You are the cause of it…

    This poem is sad, and I hope you don't feel the same now.
    Love can turn bad and without warnings, make us feel like losing everything. Fighting the sadness is the only way to get cured.
    Again, a very good poem of yours!

    Sonya,
    Bad always tend to follow us when we are "inactive" in
    the direction of our life. Every second is another opportunity
    to change where and who we are if we aren't happy in our present
    situation. We never have to stand idly by and just wait for
    the worse to happen, that comes often enough on it's own.
    Better that we choose the course we will take our boat of
    life, even if the storms of life blow us off course, we can
    always "adjust" our rudder (thinking) to get back to where
    we should be heading...

    Hugs...Eddy

    COURSE SET

    You might be the boat
    but the rudder I be
    And my destination
    is what I will see
    You can only hold me
    but the course I do set
    So don't try to contain me
    cause my needs will be met

    Truthfully intense

    You are a beautiful lady and very strong. Whatever happens in life, you will handle it and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. An intense poem with a lot of heart. Tim

    Amazing! You are awesome woman! Keep on writing but stay away form the edge of the cliff. If not, I'll put a trampoline down there so you can bounce back up. But in all seriousness... This poem was deep, full of emotion and the imagery is amazing.
    Love ya,
    Jewels

    I love it... it seems more like a suicidal write to me, like your on the edge of ending it, and they're the cause, is that the way you were going? Lol... great flow, you flow like a pro! (sorry so cheesey) Thanks for all the wonderful comments sonya.. I really appreciate you taking the time and energy into reading some of my crappy poems, makes me feel like maybe im not such a bad poet after all. Great write and thanks for sharing!


    Much Love
    ~Laura

    i don't believe in destiny really i just don't think there is one and you probably couldn't have changed it becuase that's the way it was supposed to be...that's life as much as you might want to jump off the edge...that's just how it is. This poem was soo deep i really liked it and how you worded it very nicely you have some talent and it's just a really good poem.
