poetry

The following poem/s you will be reading are poems that i wrote in the past two years. "UNFAITHFUL"-You should not listen to your selfish heart. It does not have a brain. Besides keeping you alive, it exists only in vain. "How can I be so mean and say your heart has no place?" Because men fall in love all over again as fast as they change their face. I may be cruel, but think about the hearts you have broken. Match that with the empty vows and promises you have spoken. I am not saying females are perfect because us women know that is not true. But why must you be unfaithful, if my heart stays true to you? "How you do it?" Sometimes i wonder how you do it? How can you sit back and watch yourself hurt someone so bad and not feel any guilt. You say things to me, about me, or behind me. And yet you still look at me the same way. With those eyes of brown searching for the answers inside me. You want to know everything. You want to know how i feel. And if i am truly hurting inside. And i'll tell you. I'll tell you that you were the first boy that i ever loved. You were the one who took my heart and locked it inside yours. You placed my fingers in between yours. And in the end, you took that heart and you shredded it to pieces. You could have just ripped it in half. Then it would be easier to put back together. But instead, you tore it. Piece by piece you shredded it and now no one can fix it. No one wants to, becsause they look at what you made me. A girl with permanent tears painted on my face. I am now just an empty void. There is no desire to want to love again. Because there is only the fear of ruining what i have tried so hard to build up. These next passages are passages that mean alot to mi but if you do not know how to close read you will not get the meanings. "MOON"- One night the moon said to me, 'If he makes you cry, why do you not leave him?" I paused for a whileand then looked back at the moon and said, "Moon will you ever leave your sky?" "UNHAPPY"- I was hanging with my boyfriend and I guess I seemed a little on the down side. He asked me what was wrong? I do not know what came over me. I smiled and told him nothing then walked away and whispered to myself "everything".
