Why Don't You See?

I cannot change my love, my want, 

And you’re a dagger trying to get me to change. 

These moments of insanity, billowing anger, roaring fire, 

You’re trying to stop my desire, 

But you’re really just a stale reminder of my suffering. 

Scolded, bruised and beaten, 

We live in silence now, an uncommon message…

Where are you, darling, don’t you see? 

Why can’t you come crawling back to me?

personal. just dont scold me. those leave bruises.

Maybe surroundings are too dark for her to find her way back to you. Give it time and maybe she'll make her way back into your arms.
This was a great write. I really liked the feelings and emotion that were given through this writing. Well done Gregory. Loved it!

This was great man. I can actually relate to this, so I kind of feel what you're going through in this. It's so hard to understand why a once great thing can't be great anymore.

This was short, but still powerful to me. Your usage of words played nicely, and the rhyme flowed well. I also could relate to the concept in a few ways. A great read to be sure. :)

I adored the last line, it says so much about everything, and it even rhymes with the line before so that makes it all the more better. I loved the emotions in this, it was wonderful.
