Dwelling over the Past

[amberputis]

She sits alone in an empty room,
thinking of everything she's lost.
Tells herself she's nothing now,
and blames herself for the damage caused.
She tells herself she's better off,
and admits the false to her friends.
She's fine until she's in her room,
where she falls apart all over again.
"If I know what I should do,
and I know what isn't there,
then why do I let myself cry,
why do I still care?"
She questions and questions,
and denys what she feels.
She lies to her surroundings,
and pretends they aren't real.
Why does she keep doing this?
Why doesn't she see?
Why does she let him hurt her?
Why is this girl me?

this is an amazing piece amber ....i love the last line and the part in the middle where you were questioning yourself....great job!

This was deep and heartfelt and again the symetry of the way the poem looks is perfect.

reminds me a lot of myself.

She tells herself she's better off,
and admits the false to her friends.
She's fine until she's in her room,
where she falls apart all over again.

that part hit me that hardest. this is a lovely piece you've got here.
