outside in the rain

0 posted 2006-06-02 03:48 PM



walking in the sand
drifting into another world
forgetting everything
except for your last words
i wasn't there with you
when you passed away
but i know somehow
what you wanted to say
you wanted to tell me
how much you cared
and you'd never forget me
even way up there
but i wasn't with you
i wasn't strong enough
i didn't want to watch you
leave the ones you loved
I always question
why it had to be
you who had to leave
why not me?
i should be the one to go
because i failed so many times
i let you down
couldn't find my way back
on to the straight and narrow
somehow you knew
but you didn't scold
just held me in your arms
told me your hands were mine,only, to hold
but no matter what
i always strayed
seeing you
each time i left
dying slowly
drifting away
still i kept doing
what i knew was wrong
going off with another guy
just because
i never felt like i was good enough

i wasn't there with you
when you passed away
but i know somehow
what you wanted to say
you wanted to tell me,
you loved me, again..
not like you didn't tell me
every single day
i don't understand
how you could love me that much
i acted so stupid
but you understood
you understood i was afraid
you'd also be taken away
because of that
i let you die
every time i go to sleep
i know you'd be alive
if i was there with you
where i should've been
you wouldn't have gotten hit
in a car "accident"
coming to find me
where you knew i'd be
im such a hypocrite
yet, even as you died
your last words, still were
"you'll always be the only girl
my hands, my heart, is your's only
i only wish
i could've shown
you a little more
how much you meant to me"
you couldn't have shown me any better
please believe me when i say,
sitting here, trying to tell you, looking up to heaven
i really did love you.
and i'm sorry.

I agree.. this is beautiful and sad.. I do believe that as a poem.. in itself.. it could be a little more structured.. kinda confusing to read in a couple places.. (pace, rythm) other than that.. this as far as emotion, talent, and writing goes.. it was amazing. I loved it..

Wow! Talk about a tear wringer…

I guess the only thing I would do would be adding stanzas, it’s a little confusing to read in the form it’s in, and a little long to read it like that. I know I kept losing my place cause I’d try to think about what I just read and than I’d be lost! So, that’s just an idea…

I liked this one a lot, maybe one of my favorites by you, I loved the story in this, it was brilliant

PS - You don't need to add the "please read" in the title, sometimes that can be a thing that makes people NOT want to read it...

It was really good , could see it happening as i read it, and could relate. That is one of the better poems i have read of yours, i think.  I kinda agree with them a little hard to read,  you could break parts of it up a little, some lines here others spaced out.

I realize that deep intorspection went into this work. However, I am just wondering why you gave it no title?

actually earlier when i first saw this i thought it need stanzas, now that i am looking back, i think it is amazing without. the way it seems you put it toghether it is fine close together the way it is.

I think this is a fantastic poem. Beautifuly written but very sad. I could really feel the emotions you portray so well whilst i read the poem.

I normaly would say that it needs stanzas. but this really doesn't need them. It's great the way it is. A title would be good for this. Hhmmmmmmm. I can't think of one. Very nice write.
