What You Never Seemed To Get.

Tearing at our weaknesses

we're pulling ourselves down

you were once so brave

though I can see your so scared now.

Would a thousand lives of love

still leave you splintered on the wall

you don't know what you want

though all you have to do is call.

When the madness stops and your alone

you'll live with your regrets

looking back on things I said

you never seemed to get.

When our friendship leaves you cold

you find your conscience almost dead

love will be the death of you

undefined by things as read.

Making up your reasons

to justify the hurt

this love has left you bare

all your senses are alert.

I'm looking out for me this time

love's not for free, you have to pay

threr are no reasons I can see

i'd ever want to stay.

Okay, just to let you know, this is a variation of another poem that I wrote so some of the lines may seem to be the same or are the same and that is done on purpose:)

hey nikki
true love does bring painand sometimnes death but u also have to remember that u have to fight for the ones u love right?!?! no matter how much pian comes with love ur true riends will always be there so help pick up the pieces and save u from the pain. (thanks for doing that for me) but love is worth fighting for and so is the person u love...well that is what i think anyway....good all poem all around
