I was so happy that night
we watched the lightning
while we sat on his front lawn.
He said that he was
glad I came,
but soon he went away.

Just last August
he had that party,
we came to say goodbye.
He said that he was so
happy we came,
before he went away.

I remember watching you
on that stage;
I knew what you were thinking.
You said it meant so much
I came,
and then I ran away.

I know exactly
What I`m doing,
I don`t like it one bit.
I`m getting ready
not to care,
incase you go away.

I wish I could
just fall for you,
just listen to my heart.
But that nagging voice
inside my head
just won`t go away.


 "The world is never the same
once a good poem
has been added to it."

I hope whoever's going away
In some point in time decides to stay!
Well, I mean, if that's what you want;
If he leaves, I hope he won't come back to haunt...

This is a wonderful, if ominous (?) poem, Heather! Great job!

The pain of loss- it can stay with us so long & do so much damage.  If we fear love so much that we never touch it, how will we ever know any happiness??  I like the way you expressed the conflict.

Sometimes it is hard to give your heart away after you have been hurt. It takes time to trust again. Lovely poem!

heather,
this is SO well expressed...I relate to its emotions...it reminds me of so many sad love songs thru the years...
very nice work, take care janet marie

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...
