House of Arms

 

I don’t know

What we are

What we should be

What we could be

 

What I want us to be

 

Spell it out for me

I’m so sick

Of constantly guessing

 

Having high expectations

 

I don’t want to think

Of what you make me feel

What you make me want

 

How much you make me need

 

I close my eyes

And you’re there

You’re everywhere

I close my eyes

And you’re there

On my skin

Under my nails

Inside my eyelids

I shake my head

Trying to shake you out

 

It’s so damn impossible

 

Why do you frustrate me

To the point of insanity

It’s so unhealthy

I’m always so sure

 

Now I’m so lost

 

Find me

Follow my trail

Lead me back home

 

Back to you

 

You’re so impossible

Stop confusing me

Why don’t you simplify

 

Spell us out for me

You

Ess

Us

Then explain the meaning

Remove my confusion

And carry me home

This is amazing. The last line is so sweet and provides a little bit of hope, when before all there is is confusion and frustration. I love this poem - your words always captivate me. :)

Before I even start reading this, I just wanted to say that I really like the title, haha.... And now that I've read it, I like the poem too (: And, I could totally relate to what was being said

[Ian H Morrison]

love it the whole make up from the first word to the last meter to every stanza there is a flow that just amazes

[Mazie Tackett]

fun

I really like the confessional tone of this. Another romantic carry home? The title is brilliant.

Well Kels, I hope you'll be able to write a love poem sooner than later...maybe that sounds sarcastic but you know that's not the case, right? :) For all I know, you're scolding me right now for being so apologetic :P

Your stuff has always been emotionally charged, but I could really "feel" the lust in the last couple of poems, and I can "feel" the despair in this one...keep up the good work XD

I do know how this feels. It sucks, being led on and in the end they were just playing mine games. Boy, haven't I had that happened some many times to me! But then again, I'm gullible when it comes to guys. I don't quite know why, it just happens. I love how in your poem you just frustrated at the guy pleading and asking how he feels about you two! I promise you being confused by a boy is the worst feeling any girl goes through. Well one of them anyway :D
Again, nice job. I love this!

ok,here is the deal,if you are writing a personal experience,you get a 4/10,if it is a creative write ,i give you 9/10, nice i like it very melodramatic

[Destinyxi]

Hm.. how'd you come up with those ratings exactly?

[axel]

well ,reading a book to me , means i live the substance of the writing,you were very pushy , but its your writing, and my rating

[Destinyxi]

But this isn't a book :P

[axel]

what i meant was reading anything

[Crazy Cat Man]

i love this poem and i hate being led on by my lover......its frustrating when people just manipulate our emotions. they know what they are doing and its making us sick trying to figure out whats in their minds.....at the end its not worht the time and we have to realize we are dating a unstable person and its time to move on. great piece

[Destinyxi]

Being led on sucks. thank you for your reviews! =D
