You took all the words from my lips
And left me with nothing to say
Then stole the bright sun from my sight
Thus chasing the daylight away
You captured the stars from my eyes
And now I'm unable to see
Then tore out my frail tender heart
So that I could no longer be
You seized all the thoughts from my mind
And now I can no more believe
Destroying the light in my soul -
O how you did my heart deceive
You then razed the smile from my face
Extinguished the love that I bore
Then stole every vestige of hope
So leaving me empty once more
You cut into each of my dreams
And now I am bleeding inside
Lay hold upon all of my life -
And you didn't care when I cried
A fantastic poem, life can pull you down, sometimes people don't know it until it's too late. We live a fine line of having a happy life and having a bad one.
Definitely your pen is holding precious ink....this is just stunning, i think this is one of my favorite of yours! and your poem always beautiful_Soul
Life at times can tear us to pieces to be stitched together and healed over and over again and this process is repeated relentless until one day we totally succumb to what life has done - that's irrepairable! A beautiful write Valerie!
Oh how beautiful is this poem. I couldn't help but wonder that these lines could be so full of love and intensity but yet be so soft and tender. An outstanding piece of poetry Honorable Poet!
The wounds of life made possible this poem of rare beauty and emotion. What is ahead in this up and down life may yet produce more beauty
Beautiful.....full of emotions of wounded heart of someone... enjoyed it a lot
Poets notes show how honest you are about the business of self expression Valerie...but as we know that poetry isopen to interpretation...i think you shouldnt have limited the scope of such a beautiful poem with a strong YOU...if we dont read it as an apostrophe to Life...its effect can b more lasting bcz in human bondings the I becomes dependent on YOU so willingly as u have described....loved it!

This is so true, life can be brutal without care, kicking us when were down, taking away our dreams even our peace of mind! Outstanding write!
