In my head

Postby rayjones » Sat Oct 04, 2008 10:28 pm

In my head

Who are you that wears her face
And deftly holds her sacred place
Inside my heart you don’t belong
You have her voice but not her song
Now I’m so sad but then so certain
Fooled by beauty’s painted curtain
You took my hand and then control
Thank God you did not take my soul
For with it and it alone
I now know that she is gone
Gone back deep inside of me
The place I know she’ll ever be
For in this world I’ll never see
Such grace and joy such purity
This hateful world so wrecked by guile
Shall not be blessed by her sweet smile
A fantasy to good to be
You have your own reality
I lay alone on my cold bed
And dance with you inside my head.

You have an emotional message in your poem.

I wonder about the lack of punctuation. You may want to use "who" instead of "that" and "too" instead of "to."

Is the poem saying that the present lady does not live up to the one in the speaker's memory or imagination?
