Laying alone while in my bed
I ponder words which I have spoken
Juggling dreams trapped in my head
All like chains yet most are broken

Longing for a love I know that was jaded
Reflecting on times that have gone by
Remembering her words and how quickly they faded
Writing through the blur of the tears that I cry

How come I give my love so free
Only to find myself ignored
Or is it that I've failed to see
That it is my love of which she is bored

I remember she told me I touched her soul
One cold and crisp moon lit night
Now it's with my heart that I pay the toll
Watching my dreams falling from sight

Why is it that there's no one for me
To cherish love and adore
Is this the way it's supposed to be
To merely live and love no more

I sit down and write this all for you
To see the pain that I have taken
These words weren't meant to misconstrue
Rather to show my love which she has forsaken

Very good....you've nailed the meter and rhyme scheme..I hope you showed it to 'her' so she'll see what a creative guy she's missing out on! good luck!

I love this poem..it is so well written and so emotion filled. This kind of cadence and rhyme are some of the hardest to write..but you made it look so easy...
I have poets envy right now..
take care Janet Marie

Poet deVine...Thank you. I did show it to her. I used to only show her my work for she was my chief inspiration and the reason that I started writing, not only for these dark poems but for the love poems that I've posted in open poetry #5. Unfortunately she doesn't feel the same way about me. Oh well, it was beautiful while it lasted. Thanks again.

Janet Marie...thank you, but you need not envy me. I'm honored just to know that my writing touches somebody else besides me. Thanks again.

You are a special soul, do not let anything convince you otherwise.  You have a gift of writing, imagery and understanding, you will find happiness as such as I am typing this now.  Be patient my friend, and continue to see the beauty around you and continue portrayed it in your work. (HUGS)  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
