love gone wrong
your words you
used as weapons
to bully and degrade
have left their
welts well buried
inside my shattered heart
feeling guilty for the
harm you caused
is not within
your troubled soul
you've rationalized
each wrongful act
your heart so very cold
i thought you'd love me
forever and a day
but now i know
that caring is not
your coarse hearts way
i cannot take
you back now i've
found some peace of mind
i'm searching for a love
that i can trust this time

Never Love A Cold-Hearted Man
never love a cold-hearted man
his mind is full of trickery
and ice runs through his veins
he will break your heart into
a million tiny pieces and
you will spend all of your time
attempting to retrieve the pieces
bandaging the wounds his
careless remarks thrown like darts
have left on your battered ego
he, who in his own mind sees himself
as master of the universe sees
you as his puppet and
he gets some kind of thrill
from manipulating your strings

Tempting Fate
thou shalt not tempt fate
you say holier than thou
as though it were
the eleventh commandment
as though you have never
done anything daring in life
no, tempting fate is not
only for the gods or the fool-hardy
now is all we have anyway
let's take the risk and
fall in love if you will
oh, to feel cupid's dart smart
right in the middle of my heart
what could be more exhilirating
than the feeling of falling,
falling, falling so deeply in love
but no, all you want to talk about
is the wretched consequences
of tempting fate

A Better Place
my heart is strongly set
to do what good i can do
and when i leave this world
i hope to have made a difference
to have made the world
a better place in my own way
even if it is in a small way
by having tried to be kind
to all whose path has crossed mine
by treating others with respect
helping those in need of encouragement
to reach their goals
or perhaps by writing something
that helps someone in some fashion
if i have accomplished this
then i have completed my souls work
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
