Poem Commentary

This time I did hear music.

Open Your Heart and Let Love In


I try to tell you over and over again. I don't know how
to explain the pain, and I don't know where to begin.
How can I express my suffering? Tell me, are you
listening?

I gave you all I could. I'd give you everything, you
know I would. Still you pushed me away, like I'm
no-good. Forget what was, you know I should.

I waited for you to release what you held-in. I told
you from the start, just open your heart and let love in.
Now it's my heart that is aching, it's my heart that is
breaking.

I tried to escape from what fate has dealt me. I can't
runaway from love, you're all that I see. Back in your
arms, with a love that is strong is where I want to be.
To love you without worry, where love can be free.


I gave you all I could. I'd give you everything, you
know I would. Still you pushed me away, like I'm
no-good. Forget what was, you know I should.

All you have to do, is tell me you'll try whatever you
have to. I'll be right here for you. I will catch you when
you fall. I'll break down these walls when your love calls.
I'll do it all.

I can't sleep without you by my side. Memories of us I
keep inside. Without you I weep, these tears I cry I
cannot hide. 

I gave you all I could. I'd give you everything, you
know I would. Still you pushed me away, like I'm
no-good. Forget what was, you know I should.

you know I have tried so many times to give a lady a woman what she needed...... I have found that all I can do is love myself every-one else and of course Jesus our Lord and Father....... In hopes one day He will bring her to me with this same kinda love I have found , nor could I give it or recieve it with out Him..... Thank you for sharing this powerful piece of work...... red

As usual, an unprecedented poetic smack in the proverbial head! And yes, my lady, it's quite obvious that you heard music...I almost want to pick up my guitar and see if I can find a melody to fit such a masterpiece...another flawless 10!

Your alway too kind. However I have to admit I do enjoy the comments you leave. My son who is a Drummer read this and said he can hear beats with this song. I thought that was cute, I told him how I wrote with music.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
