Only The Murderer Can Heal Me Poem by Birdie Anderson
Only The Murderer Can Heal Me
If you could see
The love I feel for you
Then I'd be a light
To bright for your
Sight to understand
Instead you hold up
A dark hand
Block out my embrace
And let my heart
Die before the
Actual race
It's all a game
In my head
I thought I loved you
But now I wish
I was dead
Cause your rejection
Shook my walls
So hard
That the ceiling
Came slamming down
I'm shattered
And numb with pain
Blood pumps quickly
Within my veins
My body screams to me
Your heart is physically
Dieing
Do something!
But alas I can't
There are only
One set of hands
That can mend these
Shards
Only ten fingers
Can weave my heart
It's the bad guy
Who started it all
He's the one that
Let me fall
And still
He cares
Not one bit
Not at all

i like this poem, and several of the lines i liked especially, including: Cause your rejection Shook my walls So hard That the ceiling Came slamming down .......................very easy to picture. sounds like my stepdaughter's woe. : ( and: There are only One set of hands That can mend these Shards..................................though i would write IS ONLY ONE not are only one and: He's the one that Let me fall And still He cares Not one bit Not at all - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - my online research claims that dieing, MANY years ago, may have been the 'accepted' spelling for DYING (which is what you want to use in this poem, UNLESS you want to be different and claim poetic license) . ******* to confuse matters more, perhaps, : DIEING DOES mean: : To cut, form, or stamp with or as if with a die. AND: DYEING means: to stain something with color, AND OF COURSE dying, dieing, and dyeing are pronounced the same way (or at least they are by ME) ! ! ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - and look for a typo in Then I'd be a light To bright for your... - - - - - - - - - and: [yes, i'm picky. i don't mean to offend, but just to be helpful. i hope you are NOT offended. please let me know if you are.] in these lines: Within my veins My body screams to me Your heart is physically Dieing i believe more punctuation in the poem would help readers like me to NOT start to read them as two separate sentences: ..................... Within my veins my body screams to me.....AND..... Your heart is physically dieing [sic]. [[ IF THESE WERE SEPARATE SENTENCES, it might be interpreted as if it is not the speaker's heart which is dying, but the heart of another (the bad guys?) . ]] ......................when i THINK YOU WANT THE LINES READ AS one sentence: Within my veins my body screams to me Your heart is physically dieing [sic]. ========================== thanks for sharing. i'll send this to MyPoemList. :) bri i wonder if you got this from a personal experience or someone elses/else's? or your imagination. well-written in any case.
