Someone happened to me
She moved me
Confused me

You walked right out the door

Then I was just passing time
Nothing on my mind
When you left
The fear returned
My fractured mind recoiled
I remembered more
So I bleed pure
She came inside my mind
Took me into hers
Wasn’t sure what I would do
She gave me much to say
Never felt like this before
A void so pure

:)  I like this one a lot, the only suggestion I have is that  "she" should be used consistently throughout, insted using "you".  Here's my revision:

Someone has happened to me
She moved me
Confused me

She walked right out the door

Then I was just passing time
Nothing on my mind
When she left
The fear returned
My fractured mind recoiled
I remembered more
So I bleed pure
She came inside my mind
Took me into hers
Wasn’t sure what I would do
She gave me much to say
Never felt like this before
A void so pure

Hi Sin, a fair call, if it were only one "she" in the piece. The She and You are two seperate women, hence the differentiation.

Oh yeah, this one is good...very, very good Mos! To re-inforce the difference between she and you, you could use dashes in the first stanza after she...and they after you. It would kind of punctuate the thought process. I would suggest losing 'has' in the first line, it doesn't change the meaning but does emphasize the feeling.

I really, really enjoyed this one....

Thanks Rene, some good suggestions, though I only acted on one. You're right, it does read with more power by removing "has".

I kept the "she/you" as is for it (in my right minded/left handed way at least) manages to portray the confused thinking at the time of writing this piece.

 

Mos.
