Nursey Rhyme in A Minor

[Queen Beat]

It's strange to watch the same mistakes
Played over and over again
In the scratched record that is your life.
So stop
And listen.
Think of the long nights when an outstretched hand
Was greeted by substantial clumps of air.
Fingers dancing in desperation
For the solidity of love's presence.
Ring a ring a rosy
Remember those morning after's when his mistakes
Became breakfast news for the rumour mills.
You were always soothed by his claims of love
In your burning ears
But trust without foundation is toxic self destruction.
A pocket full of posy
He's busy with work.
He's tied down with study.
He's chasing up loose ends.
He's hunting down young women....
Keep up your loyal vigil next to the promise of his love
I'm sure he's just running late.
Atissue
Atissue
Then in an absence of apology
Watch as the shape of a new soul changes the record
And you become lost in a strangers melody.
Then with schoolgirl trust and blind curiosity
Open your mind and realise
There's life beyond the songs we know.
So take your chance and run with it
We all deserve to love again.
We all fall down
(But we won't be down forever)

this was the most touching thing ive read here so far,
my story breifly :
a few months ago i found out that the first person i really loved cheated on me, we live together and are good freinds, its been really hard for me cause i know that i will never be completly trusting of him ever agian , so here i am stuck and treading water ,, he does love me, so it seems , so the words are said, but yet actions show that my love is different than his own , so this i realize may to my demise end in a very tormented heartbreak for us both, both being the vicims of so many crimes , yet me nver retaliating to eye for an eye
thanks , peace and love

I love this poem.
*grins*
Gotta rush though. *hugs*
Your work ALWAYS amazes me in the BEST way.
Life's NOT just the cliches we adhere to.
*reminds self "I am not NOT NOT Mark Renton"*
*grins*

i spose this is 'old', but i found it just now, and it, like a lot of your writing, is just so damn good
you'd beat plazma with 'perfectly put' and 'perfectly worded', but i'm biased...
