agburns84 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 This is my first poem after several months without writing and posting something on this site so here goes. Normally my poems are happy and positive but lately things have been abit tough so this is kind of a reflection about how things are going in my world and figured it might be time to come out with something deeper than usual. Hope whoever reads this enjoys it. MY TROUBLED SOUL If only they knew, if only they could see, The racing of my heart, beating in time, Within the hole, That is my troubled soul. Just trying to do the right thing, Keeping my emotions and feelings at bay, But every time I see you they come flooding back, My heart is joyous yet my mind is trapped. Just trying to avoid the pain, Of broken hearts that often beckon at times like these, If only I could think of a way, That could make all the complications go away. If only I could sleep and put my mind at rest, Sometimes just a comforting doze will do, As I lie motionless in the dark, Trying to figure out what caused this spark. If only I could see what the future will bring, As I brace myself to conquer the odds that lie ahead, For regardless of the obstacles that there may be, My thoughts of you alone appear to set me free. Each time we meet and the butterflies are abound, A nostalgic reminder of many a teenage crush, I don't know why I have such trouble saying goodbye, These are my thoughts and my words speak no lies. If only they knew, if only they could see, The racing of my heart, beating time, Within the hole, That is my troubled soul. Link to comment
little_buttercup Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think this piece is something many people can relate to. I'm no longer a teen, but I remember feeling this way whenever a 'crush' developed. Good piece. Link to comment
