I never want to feel these feelings again (Challenge Poem)

By nyjohn00

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I never want to feel these feelings again What kind of person, twisted soul Uses love to control To make each breath and heartbeat And agony that seems to last an eternity Each breath seems to broil the lung As each beat another wound It goes on for eternity The yearning for love to be embraced To be held for no other reason Other than for love itself I turned my heart inside out Asked for all of Gods strength To be able to turn it away To cause my heart to be impenetrable Please God, please let my heart feel secure Turn its beating walls to stone Make them granite Fill the cracks so no one can ever get inside Make it a fortress, where only I may dwell Let me look at those who would hurt And let me turn away Better to not feel Healthier to embrace being alone To be free of hurt To open ones self to love Exposes one to torture agony of emotions To always wonder what if I came out from these walls Would it be better Would I find Would there be someone to love me for me Someone to share as one A person to embrace and have us be one Written March 10th, 2002 © on Mar 10 2002 01:28 PM PST, John   0 • 1
