Give Me A Hand...

...because these cards suck.

I’m tired of making mistakes.

I’m tired of all these fake loves

 with girls that love for their own sake.

But never for mine.

Isn’t love a two way street?

Is that road so hard to find?

 

But despite the height I’ve fallen from,

-I’m still here again, giving away the gun

to a new girl, hoping that she’ll have some mercy.

I’ve put myself into this all the way,

-so please go ahead and say if you’re gonna hurt me.

 

So take my broken heart, do what you will

Yeah, take my broken heart, go ahead and kill

I’ve already fallen apart,

-trying to catch my broken shards

Please give me a new start,

-show me something good in my cards.

 

There’s only a few things I want in life,

and none of them are about an end of strife.

I want a girl that won’t take a knife,

and stab me in the back.

I’m tired of investing my entire heart,

-with girls who just take advantage of that.

I’m falling apart, cant’ you people see?

I’m tired, I’m exhausted, I barely sleep.

And yet I’m still me.

 

So take my broken heart, do what you will

Yeah, take my broken heart, go ahead and kill

I’ve already fallen apart,

-trying to catch my broken shards

Please give me a new start,

-show me something good in my cards.

 

It’s still a true love I desire.

A love that will inspire.

A love that will take these broken wings,

-a love that will take me higher.

A love that gives me a reason to sing,

-with joy and not sorrow.

A love with a girl who every night,

-I look forward to seeing tomorrow.

 

Someone give me the indication,

-that I’m worth that kind of love.

Someone take me from this desecration,

-take me and lift me above.

Because I keep loving,

-even when there isn’t a sign,

that I’ll ever get that kind of girl,

-that she’ll ever be mine.

But I’m not ever going to quit.

Cut my heart to ribbons,

I’ll still be looking for it.

 

So take my broken heart, do what you will

Yeah, take my broken heart, go ahead and kill

I’ve already fallen apart,

-trying to catch my broken shards

Please give me a new start,

-show me something good in my cards.

 

It must be a cruel ploy of fate,

-to taunt me with love that I can’t take,

as if saying its too late

You made the mistake.

You’ll mess this one up, too,

-she’s too great.

And that’s assuming she even cares,

-you’re broken goods, mate.

 

I’m entertaining thoughts that aren’t true,

-taking meaning from things,

you didn’t mean to do.

Have I become that guy?

Look me in the eye,

-let me know that my thoughts lie.

 

So take my broken heart, do what you will

Yeah, take my broken heart, go ahead and kill

I’ve already fallen apart,

-trying to catch my broken shards

Please give me a new start,

-show me something good in my cards.

One day you will finally say enough is enough. To earn my love someone has to prove worthy of entering my life. It's so easy to be swayed by a soft touch a pretty face. The intense passion and enlightenment manage to fade over time. So much more is needed to keep a relationship together. To make the passion sizzle , the understanding and kindness to remain, walk slow, take your time, get to know someone before falling heart first and head last. Your writing speaks of a very compassionate guy with a loving heart. Make sure the next one is worthy of that love you have inside.

You said it best in your poem Love vs Lust. Infatuation doesn't take a lot. That comes easy. Love takes work, it takes patience, it takes dedication.

I wish I was blind, sometimes, so I could get to know a person by their soul, their heart, their voice, and their thoughts before anything else. To know someone without being able to see them would be a blessing.

[Southern Cross]

Well sometimes that doesn't work either ..they lie..You love them for their heart and soul but it was a facade

[MachinaWriter]

But at least one facade is taken away at the beginning. Because external beauty can be a facade, as well. Used to hide the ugliness beneath. I'd rather just have one facade to overcome, rather than two. Eventually, you'll find someone who isn't lying to you. I have to believe that.

Your emotions are so true. But you are trying at love and that makes you a lover no matter what happens:).

[Meallea Pomorette]

I really love you and your poems!!! I'm really falling for it!!!

"Isn’t love a two way street?
Is that road so hard to find?"
It's really hard to find the right road... It really takes hard work and a lot of patience...

"I’ve already fallen apart,
-trying to catch my broken shards"
Someone will fix it someday but apparently there will be somethings missing because a part of it will always be with the one who broke you..

"It’s still a true love I desire.
A love that will inspire.
A love that will take these broken wings,
-a love that will take me higher.
A love that gives me a reason to sing,
-with joy and not sorrow.
A love with a girl who every night,
-I look forward to seeing tomorrow."
Such love is still possible and never impossible to find but it will never be perfect...

"Please give me a new start,
-show me something good in my cards."
Seems to me you're looking for an oracle... Anyway it's never too late for everything...

Falling head over heels is really hard...
But a relationship is never perfect and if it fails you should have yourself get over it..

[MachinaWriter]

Nah, I have. Thus, this poem lol I write it out and then I move on. Its harder sometimes than others, but I do it, eventually. I'm glad you liked the poem, and as always, I appreciate your awesome reviews ^^

[Meallea Pomorette]

thanks...

There will come a time when people stop betraying you and you find that one person who gets and understands you...It could be a long time and I'm willingly to wait because I've had enough betrayal in my short life already....great poem beautifully written

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you, that means a lot.

[*~*Butterfly Kisses*~*]

An emotional touching piece. We all search for love, but manage to get many broken hearts in between.

[RachelReaper]

this was absolutely, breath taking and passionate and beautiful and every time I see one of your writings it just gets better and better.

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you, that means a lot. I wrote this one kind of quickly. I had a lot going on in my mind and it just...spilled out.

[RachelReaper]

[MachinaWriter]
