If I knew how things were gonna go
I don't think I would have tried so hard
And I don't think I would have cried so hard
When they did
If I knew how thing were gonna go
But I give everything I have
Every time I have
And every time I loose what I had
I just wish it didn't have to hurt
So damn bad
My heart kept telling me
but my head kept warning me
And love kept failing me
I was blind, and I still don't see
Now I know that love is blind
But I was blinder
And I wonder if it would have worked out
If I would have been just a little bit kinder
A nice jester here
A kind word there
Tried a little harder
To see the object clear
The object of my affection
The apple of my eye
Now it's my soul's only affliction
And the reason why I cry
I hate that I don't understand
And I hate that I can't demand
Love is not demanding
It is not puffed up
Or commanding
Love never fails
I failed love
My fear was to strong
And my faith lost
In the man above
All the words that I have wrote
All the things left unsaid
Still won't matter when I'm gone
I can't take it with me when I'm dead
Should I just carry my cross
and let them crucify me too
Ask for their forgiveness
For they know not what they do
That's what he would do
But I need to remember me
What would I do
I have now forsaken me
I am the leper
I am the whore
I am the outcast
they threw out the door
Last years beauty queen
Yesterday's news
Wondering who this time
Which one will they choose
Am I to believe in Satan's lies
and accept the fact
that everyone dies
There is nothing I can take with me
everything is futile
look at the glass half empty
Instead of the glass half full
No, I choose happiness
And I choose love
I decide which path to choose
And I decide when to shove
And when push comes to shove
I still embrace it
I'll stick it out
Full on, I'll face it
Everything will be okay
just give it time
What do ya say
There's a time for everything
And everything happens in time
Seasons change, and feelings blossom

The reason for the rhyme is to make some kind of sense out of what must be written. A rhyme in the middle of turmoil and despair may even bring a sigh of relief, or to catch your breath before the next 'wild tangent' as David puts it. A dead on description.
Your art is Picasso. Beauty and torment. A vision not quite in the order of the mind, but manor perceived by the artist.
BUT!
The spelling issues are still necessary in 'Picasso' art, honey... The folks who take the time to edit you should not be for naught!
Myself, I read to find out where Gina's head is at 'today'... all will work itself out and you will be done with the past in time, as I am. I have to be. The future is short; the past too heavy.
love, mom
Very emotional poem. You can feel all the despair of loss and the reluctant feeling of starting again. Some times there is no reason.There is a spelling error in the first verse -"things."(sorry)
The reason for the rhyme is so the author can work through her feelings, struggles and victories.
You always write in a sort of rhyming way, with wild tangents on the side, but somehow it works for you.
I did notice a few spelling errors:
"And every time I loose (should be 'lose') what I"
"But I was blinder (should be 'more blind')"
" A nice jester (should be 'gesture') here"
" My fear was to (should be 'too') strong"
"All the words that I have wrote (should be 'written')"
Yes, I'm still here to watch over your poetry;
to make sure it's still as good as it always was.
I still lick like your style as much as ever.
If only you wouldn't move around so much, perhaps I could find the flow of your verse a lot easier.
And when your down, don't forget your lord is always with you. Yeah though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death...............
Welcome !
