think I've lost faith... <br />There is no such thing as love <br />No such thing as the perfect man <br />Just a bitter-sweet torture <br />That drives you slowly mad <br /> <br />I give up, I'm on my knees <br />I have had enough of lies and greed <br />My roots are crumbling in this earth <br />Withering and dying, a delicate wing <br />Broken on this bird <br /> <br />I can't go on, and on, and on <br />Waiting, ancitipating a dream <br />That will never be a reality.. <br />If you don't put it in, you don't <br />Get it out, that's what I want to SHOUT! <br /> <br />I'm turning like a wheel without tread <br />Lost in this consuming dread <br />And paralysis of the heart... God! <br />Why did this ever start.. And just <br />When will it end, will I survive? <br /> <br />I'm finished with being sweet <br />With deceit, I just cannot compete <br />I'm not up to that task, too much <br />I've given it all, reached out, touched <br />My heart is broken, all is lost <br /> <br />I am surely going to be <br />From Narnia, you see, I am going <br />To give that Ice Queen a run for her money <br />It's not funny, not anymore, it hurts <br />And squeezes hope from me <br /> <br />That's it, departure, I'm checking out <br />Of the Love Motel, the bill's too high <br />The price too dear, dirty sheets <br />Filled with grief and blood and fear <br />Turn the car of life onto the highway <br /> <br />Race towards the lights, music blaring <br />No more caring, not for me, that's ended <br />Enough of compassion, comforting and passion <br />Just, simply, no more to give <br />It's over, rev the engine, drive away <br /> <br />Not stopping for love hitchikers <br />Just blowing dust in their face <br />Hurtling past life, watching <br />The globe spin alongside time... <br />That's truly it for me..<br /><br />Michelle Tiddy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-love-motel/
