Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

You Made Me This Way

I write and write and then delete and then I write again
I think and then I overthink to overcome the pain
I smile at you, then frown at you, and then I sigh and cry 
I wonder what you've done to me, and then I wonder why

I give my love, I take it back, and then I give some more
I put down drawbridge of my heart, and then I bolt the door
I do my dance, I hope to trance, and then I disappear
I warm you up, and then I chill, and then I draw you near

I plant a kiss, and then I hiss, and then I pacify
I touch you cheeks, and lick your lips, and then I say goodbye
I contemplate and ruminate and then on impulse act
I dream of you, and live for you, and hate you: that's a fact!

So, here's the deal, just let me heal from my insanity
But you must know, this crazy show is not just vanity
I must blame you, your love's not true, and I am victimized
I try to gain, reprieve from bane, but heart is paralyzed

You drive me mad, you make me glad, you play me like a toy
You make you crave, you make me slave: you are a naughty boy!
So I must say, I am this way because of what you've done
So go away, oh, please just stay, and make me come undone!

Eileen ;)

It's fun to write...Once you take an idea and you elaborate and just go wild. Yes...I have a wild wild side. Hugs

Eileen Manassian January 5, 2015 at 3:33 PM Thanks, Eve. I'm given to extremes....This is the reality of my life. I'm very emotional...quite volatile. It's a blessing and curse. I know that well. Thanks for the lovely visit. I'm touched.

Richard Lamoureux January 5, 2015 at 1:31 PM You have captured the manic and the depressive with this piece. You are on a roll with your writing today!

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty January 5, 2015 at 11:15 AM I write and ..........I sigh and cry I wonder what you've done to me, and then I wonder why I am just hooked to your poem( and glued too) from the first stanza. You have immense power to understand others' emotions. You are a rare sort of poets who thrive on such intense passions.You are getting subtler and crazier(!) and a great lover too. Eileen you are a blessing to us all.Love-rajat Eileen Manassian January 5, 2015 at 3:39 PM Oh....glued, eh? I'm glad. Read and read, my dear. I have lots to keep you interested if you like this type of poetry. Yes, Rajat....I am a little crazy...passionately insane. I'm not always easy to get along with, but....that's just me. Thanks for considering me a blessing. I'm touched. Hugs
