What Can You Do?

A poem I wrote shortly after I was ripped in two by the person who promised me everything. Guess the people you love hurt you the most.

When broken bones,

They heal no more-

And your soul is tattered,

Rugged and sore...

Heart is shattered,

Beyond repair-

Dreams are trampled,

In despair...

 

What can you do?

 

When love is smattered,

Across the ground-

And love's refrain, a

Desolate sound...

Your spirit ripped, scattered

And pried-

And all you do,

Is sit and cry...

 

What can you do?

 

When open wounds,

Ooze with pus-

And a steady ache,

Becomes a must...

Your chest's mortar,

Dissolves with sorrow-

And the bricks

Are slowly swallowed...

 

What can you do?

 

When ashen hate,

in Tear-ducts gather-

And bitterly you think,

The end you'd rather...

 

You can't get another try.

You curl into a corner and cry.

Inside your heart, something has died.

this is a sad piece.. I read on ur page about how you had all white males...and how "we" made you the way you are...this confuses me. cuz I don't even now you...in fact %99.999999999999 of the white males in the world don't know you..that would be like me sayin that black people are the reason for all of my problems...or somethin... when in fact..if anyblack people were the cause of any of my problems it would be a small group of black people that caused those problems..not the entire race..but anyway..I was just ssayin I don't understand where I come in in the equation that makes you who you are..just sayin though....good piece I like it.

I'm not "racist" haha. I just say that so players and cheaters will leave me alone. Along with all the other guys who only want sex. It makes them mad, and they just don't bother me. I've had enough of that type of person.
Thank you, though, I appreciate you expressing yourself without doubt- I wish more people would do so.
