NOTHING TO GAIN


Nothing To Gain 

Anger and pain I've harbored for so long, 
Its like a old sad love song , 
Shooting from grieve to sorrow, 
From crying to weeping, 
Slashed by betrayal, 
Its a love a hate with a nasty stain that 
Don't wash away , 
Pierced with mockery, and 
Lost to the dark world of hatred. 
Nights are cold and the days are gray  
On a silver platter I slayed my heart, 
To and old stain with much pain and nothing 
To gain but heartaches and lots of rain , 
Melting my dreams like a burning candle, 
Blowing away in night air; 
I need for breathing don't you see walk away from me , 
I cried and I cried for this pain to die that I hold within, 
My heart is hollow with a stain of pain you gave , 
I must let this hurt be wash at sea and maybe someone  
Good will find me .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
