sorry I posted twice in a row... i guess I was motivated all of a sudden.  well, this isn't very good, it's more of a story than a poem.


on top of the world
smiling down from my pedestal
i saw you smiling back

so happy
so carefree
so blind

looking down
i saw someone
someone else

he smiled
we talked
we laughed

you worried
I consoled
you worried even more

a breezy august evening
just a year ago
i tore us apart

i was selfish
you were kind
we were through

a sleepy november morning
i heard the news
it couldn't be true

i lost you forever
without a goodbye
it couldn't be true

but it was
i lost you forever
without any goodbyes

i kiss the flower
drop it on your grave
whisper "i love you"

i wish i would have told you
i only realized too late
i'll love you always and forever


*don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened*

i'm not sure at all if this would be considered a story- but i would guess that all literature tells a story of some sort, no matter how abstract or detailed.

i liked this poem even though i'm not one to particularly take free verse to heart. i thought this was great though. three lines of simple, sincere thought per stanza. i think that this is the better of the two poems that you posted consecutively. great work

I like this poem, not because of it's structure (which is good as well) but because of the message. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is you have my sincerest appologies. The message of this poem is so true though: Tell someone you love them when you can because you may not be able to later.

Im very sad to hear about this loss, Im sorry you never got to say I love you in a special way, sometimes things dont work out right, keep on a smile, and if you ever wanna talk you can IM me, great poem.

Love,

thanks once again for everyone's thoughts. i love this place b/c everyone is so supportive, understanding, and helpful. special thanks to krylic for sending me here.. love ya hon.  
to crystal: yes, the experience i write about is true. i lost my very good friend/boyfriend to a car accident last november 5. i'm so glad that you found the message in my writing, that's what i had hoped would happen. never, ever, wait to tell someone how you feel, b/c "later" can too easily turn into "never"

So sad, to lose someone like this. My friends almost lost me a few months ago. But, since I'm such a voiced person, one of them found out and wouldn't leave my side, until they knew I'd lost that thought.

If you love someone dont put their name in a heart,
put their name in a circle, because a heart can be broken
but a circle is continious.
