How nice is it to be,
All alone, out by the sea.
The gentle crashing waves,
Merge together in a daze.

A lover lost is here tonight,
Who bravely stood up to fight,
The one thing that he loved;
Besides me.

How nice is it to be,
All alone, out by the sea.
How could you take him away?
My mind’s in turmoil every day.

I curl  and shake and cry,
All because you let him die.
But yet for you I feel no hate,
Because for him I was just too late.

Wow.
This poem is amazing....tragic yet so beautiful.
The person that this poem is about must be very special to you....I am sorry that you feel so bad.I hope that by writing away some of your torment you can let go, bit by bit.
My heart is with you.

I wrote the poem after being reminded of a plot from a book I read a long time ago.  I was trying to write from the main character's point of view. unfortunatly, it is too similar to certain situations present in my life.  Thank you, your sympathy is graciously accepted.

Great stuff, like cabe says, if you need to talk, shout my name, I will hear your call and 'answer quite slowly, the girl with calidoscope eyes' . Do you know that song because like diamonds, you and your poetry are precious, L.Of.L .
Tom .
P.s. That gives me a good idea for a poem, I'll write it tonight when I can't sleep . And show you tommorow when it's light again.

This is a great poem.
It must have hurt to empathise so much with the plot that you describe.
A wonderful poem none the less.

Yes this is tragic, but I also think it has a feeling of....(I'm not sure if these are the right words here) peace and acceptance. I guess. I like this very much, thankyou for sharing this.

Thank you both!  
Thinker - It was a rather painful, because in ways the storyline was similar to my life at that moment.  I suppose that made it easier to write.
Eagle One - peace & acceptance, yes, it is a feeling that you can't change the past.  Also, living with mistakes isn't always easy, but you've got to try.


 The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
