Poetry


Going through a spiritual struggle and wrote out my feelings to short out my thoughts. One of my darker poems that was resentful of posting. Love to hear what everyone has to say. View table of contents...

Heart

 

My heart has been played.

You took refuge inside it,

then t  o  r   e it apart.

 

My heart has been played.

You said you would bring me light,

But it was fool's gold.

 

My heart has been played.

Friends of yours, shadows moved in

and wrought destruction.

 

My heart has been played.

I trusted you, you failed me.

I don't trust anymore.

Thanks I wanted to show that my heart was becoming blacker, did it come off that way? I wish I could go back and do the tore part with a different font, perhaps I'll play with it.

Thanks. It was my first time putting my entire poem into color. I liked experimenting with it. Thanks agian for the read.

I like the style of this piece. It's unique, like all your writings.

Thanks. I'm glad that I've posted this. I've received such supporting comments. I thought it wouldn't be that great, but I guessed wrong. :)

~DarkFairy~

Much love for the.. the.. ok drawing a blank here..
~comes back 5mins later~
Metaphor! thats the word I was looking for. The wording and the way you played with the colour was great. A lot more people should be inventive with how they put together their writing.
on a side note hope your doing well and, well done on this ^^

Yes I'm doing well, just some experimental poetry that I was reluctant to put up, but Reaper said I should, so yeah I did. At least you knew what word you were looking for, I might have said it was something else, like everything but a metaphor. I get confused easily with poetic terms. I'll definitely play with the colors more now that I know you guys like it. Plus I love playing with colors anyway:)

Feelings and emotions can be taken away when loved is played with....liked the way you wrote this one....Til Later Take care Juliet

Author Comment:

Well it wasn't love that was played with it was my heart itself, but again not in the love matter. It was more like the sense of entrusting my heart with someone. Thanks for reading Juliet.

Yes I've left you speechless. I don't think I've ever done that to you as of yet. Everyone loves my formatting. I guess I'll have to consider that when I write my poetry in the future to make it better and more noticable. Thank you!

~DarkFairy~

I think this is the first of your peoms that I've read. I really liked it! Liked the use of color. I'm going to have to figure out how to do that. Loved what you had to say.

Thanks, the colors are an available when you go to create a new piece. It's on the toolbar in the box where you place the text you're submitting. Hope you have fun playing with them.

What is with this darker side? It has never showed before... but its always clear that writing about the darker side is always easier because we dwell on it much more than we do when we have good times. When was this written???
If it was recent i have to say i haven't noticed anything. You said you feel your heart becoming blacker... at least you have let us all know :)
I liked it, especially the colour coding and the final words; "I dont trust anymore". I liked that line a lot because you are aware that the bible says that the heart is treacherous(if thats how you spell it). A nice piece, another side to you... and unfortunately i like it... but i like a lot of dark thigns as you already know, and we have already found so much in common... i guess it was only a matter of time before this side of you came out. Have a nice day ^^

I think I wrote this around the middle of last year sometime after graduating. Going from the transition of school to no school then dealing with some personal trust issues. I think you're the only one that has really understood it so far, that is wasn't an issue with a person in flesh, but well you know me well enough to figure it out.

Lets see I'm showing my darker side after talking with and reading some of Reaper's earlier works. We got to talking of his darker poems and that I had two written, but was afraid to post them let alone read them myself. But he said I shouldn't be afraid of them, and so you now see the results. That's kinda weird hearing you say that you like this side of me, but I'm glad that you actually liked it.

~DarkFairy~

what a fucking awsome peice (excuse the swearing) its the best piece on here so far. i can really relate to this thank you for sharing.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it. I don't mind the swearing, I usually tune it out anyway.

~DarkFairy~

i love your poem! it's very creative and unique, which is great! Thanks for sharing it!

Author Comment:

Thank you I really got into the style of this one, it's a sad poem, but I enjoy sharing it with all of you.

~DarkFairy~

Love the structure. The flow and overall scheme were exceptional well laid and the power behind the words was mind-blowing. I derrived a few different opinions from this, and I think that is more than enough. Excellent work.

Thanks, I think this by far my best piece, people just love how I set it up. I did put thought into this one suprisingly, because it was a vent piece also. Thanks for reading them Itsuwari.

~DarkFairy~

My heart has been played.
I trusted you, you failed me.
I don't trust anymore.

It's really is dark. Nice poem though I like it. You deserved someone who doesn't treat you like that. God bless you.

Thanks, but it wasn't a persone exactly.

~DarkFairy~

Well, two months later after you first posted Lol!
better late than never huh?
well I ended up on your page for some reason and was drawn to this.
I thought not only was it expressed very well, but I really like the way it is presented, especially how you typed t o r e
also the part about bringing you light but instead it was fools gold, with the color scheme giving it extra zilliance.
ok take care, always good seeing around town :D

Lol, that's fine, yeah I spaced it apart because the title was alreay taken, but it played off it really well xD!

This is my favorite poem for the fact that everyone loves the style I put into it. Thanks Katie!

Physically someone no. It was just like my open door poem.

that was nice!

Thanks!

Interesting. I like the idea of using font colors to reflect the abuse of your trust. I would suggest going from red to purple to having the last line be black. The idea behind this choice of colors is to mimic the stages of a bruise. You might change each line by one shade of color making each line progressively bluer until you get to black.
I feel the use of single words with deviant colors (as in the words light and gold) and differing fonts (as in the word shadow) detract from your poem. The shift to the left hand margin with you final line was a nice touch.

Posted: Jun 1, 2008

Author Comment:

Actually it's not a bruise color I was going for, it was the literal sense that my heart was being turned black from the feeling that I was betrayed. It was like this, I was growing in my relationship with God, but I kept putting my all to live up to a standard that I set for myself, but everytime I would almost reach this standard something would stand in my way and I would ask God for his strength and guidiance to help me through, but he always seemed to let me down.

So I started to turn from God, so my heart filled with sin, hence the black. Well I tried to use a yellow for the word light, but then I couldn't see it, and that was an important word in my thoughts at the time and wanted the reader to be able to see that, and the reason for the font change in shadow is for the same reason, I tried to play off key words my mind was going through at the time, so the reader could get some kind of thought for what I was feeling.

I'm glad you liked the ending, one of my friends here did that with one of her poems, and I remembered how much I loved it, so used it to the same affect.

Thanks for such a long comment, lol.

~DarkFairy~

i loved what you did to the colors for effect, it really brings out the meaning of the poem.. excellent poem, excellent formatting, what more can i say? =)

~DarkFairy~

hi! df. although darkness is scary, hope u find light and regain trust. there is a whole wide world waiting to accept u with open arms. try it for a size. good luck. lol. ;-)

Posted: Jun 21, 2008

Author Comment:

Thanks for the comment, I found my light a while back, I just put this poem up like several months after I found my way out.

~DarkFairy~

this i really like, i can relate to it so much. not only is a person hurting you, but their "friends", their negativity hurts just as bad, if not worse. i also like how you described their lies as "fools gold" something so beautiful, yet fake. a beautiful lie, but still a lie. keep up this great work. i find that the darkest parts of our soul brings out the best in us, we just have to learn to control it...or it will control us.

Author Comment:

Lol, yeah that's why I have always been picky with guys. None of my friends, thankfully have never betrayed me. I'm glad you could relate to this one.

~DarkFairy~

the changing of colors was a really good idea ^^ woah, this poem was really very dark. like you were breaking from the inside when you wrote it. a really nice poem, df^^

Posted: Sep 30, 2008

Author Comment:

Thanks ^^ yeah breaking from the inside was exactly how I felt, and I couldn't express it outwards except through here.

~DarkFairy~

Man, no wonder you came down on me so hard! j/k It was a very strong write. I could feel the deep reservoir of feeling you put into it, and i can tell that even though it is simple, you thought VERY carefully how you put your words. Kudos

Posted: Oct 4, 2008

Author Comment:

Lol, naw this was a while back, I have different feelings in my heart now :)

Yeah I do notice that this is one of my stronger pieces, and powerful ones at that, I write best when emotionally in the moment.

~DarkFairy~

great poem! i enjoyed it a lot, and i like the effects that you put on tore, and with the colours, it really added a lot. overall this was a really enjoyable read!

^^ Thanks a lot, I really like what I did with the poem too.

I just dont understand. There is nothing to the poem. Colors are cheesy by the way. Unless you writing for a children book. But hell who am I? keep writing I dont say these things to upset you just to make you think. Everyone else isn't bold enough to say something. Just says hey that's amazing then runs away. Shit you are most likely better writer than me, but still this poem has nothing to it.

Posted: Oct 25, 2008

Author Comment:

Hey no problem at least you were honest. You may think it cheesy but colors can tell a story, and you don't know how I felt, so I don't expect you to completely understand.

And no you aren't the only bold one everyone is bold, it just happens that you would be the one that doesn't care for it.

Everyone is good at what they write so I'm not necessarily a better writer than you or anyone, but thanks!

I really like this particularly "the shadows moved in and wrought destruction" it sounds quite powerful but not so dark as to actually be depressing. Very cool poem, the different coloured words were a nice touch.

Funny you should say that, it was a depression actually, not one that you normally think of but a depression inside, not one that one notices, but it's there. If that makes sense?

Yeah I wanted to give the reader and poem the feel that my heart was turning from the living, beating red, to the coldest of black.
