DarkPoetry -|- prettydisgrace -|- I was never her

I was never her

Her beauty was never my beauty
she was never damaged, never torn
she was never abandoned, never forgotton
collapsed stars.. they only fall..

Her love was never my love
She was never heartless, never insecure
She was never coast aside, never broken
Drowned mermaids.. they only get washed ashore...

Your love will never be my love
I was never her, she was never me
i was never that naive, never that foolish
to believe.. that i ever could be..

"collapsed stars..they only fall.." Jeesh, those ending lines on every stanza are torture to read. This was excellent...the imagery, the words, everything. Excellent. ~*Beth*~

Standards, never quite up to par. This ripped my heart out as I read. The most emotional I have ever seen, with so little words. You got your point across so wonderfully.
