    Poem Commentary

    This one is a song I'm hoping to actually make music for. I think it would be rather good with the right sound put to it.

    Tell Me

    Oh baby, tell me where I failed you
    Tell me what went wrong
    Tell me I'm to blame
    Anything at all, I need to hear it

    What we had seemed so perfect
    And you yourself were nothing less
    But when you walked away
    Well, I just became a mess

    I loved you with all my heart
    It still skips a beat, it really does
    And the way your arms felt around me
    God, how very blessed I was

    Oh darling, tell me I let you down
    Tell me what went wrong
    Tell me I'm to blame
    Anything at all, I need to hear it

    Tell me what I can do for me
    To let you walk away
    Because it hurts so bad sometimes
    I just have no words to say
    You were my angel, my peace
    All that was good in the world
    Once lay in your hands
    But now that all is unfurled
    I can barely stand it
    Being here all alone
    I can barely stand

    Tell me that I failed you
    Tell me I let you down
    Tell me I am wrong
    Tell me I'm to blame
    Tell me anything at all
    I'll bear it with no shame

    Because I loved you
    And I think I still do
    All I've been doing lately
    Is missing you

    Heart-felt pains of lost love. Why didn't you give her some poems to read...or maybe you shouldn't have if you did.

    I actually wasn't as upset as the poem suggests I was; it just inspired a part of me to tap into a greater sort of sadness and produce something beautifully sad from it.

    And you have undoubtedly produced "something beautifully sad" in this write. You have a unique talent for doing so repeatedly. Keep it up.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
