I thought we'd be forever,
I guess that you did too.
I knew who I wanted ever more,
and that person was you.
I hope you know I still love you,
but I can't be with you right now.
Not if you can't accept who I am,
I hoped you could somehow.
I thought this was my happy ending,
the part that was supposed to be good.
I thought I was sure you loved me,
I guess I thought you should.
But this is my not so happy ending,
to the not so good life of mine.
While I sit and read about princes,
who all sit around and dine.
I guess this isn't the end,
the tale's just begun.
I think that we'll be together,
because it was never less than fun.
I just want a happy ending,
to this not so happy life.
And to live with you forever,
escaping heartache and strife.

Allysa, not everyone can accept us for what we are, poets are a different breed. Even though it hurts us, it's their loss. My other half wanted to know if I was cheating on him because I had written love poems to "someone else". They just don't understand!
Hugs,

SEA: im not sure if they will work out.

Dee: my other half thinks he's to busy to have an other half. He thinks his life is too complicated. Well, my friend Jesica was murdered, my best friend Marie switched schools, my friend Zach might get kicked out of my school, and my friend Linds is dealing with floozies. I miss J so much. And everyone else depends on me to help. So he can take his life and shove it for all I care right now. It's been a long day and I have a really bad headache.

Though this is filled with tears and pain you wrote with grace and talent of a winged poet...you should be very proud of this~

I am so sorry for you, hope that you find the strength to get back on your feet, I hope that things would work out well, cause your love is still there,
you describe your feelings so clear.

Allysa, take time for yourself, that seems to be what you need. Write, read, whatever YOU need. Friends sometimes have understand they just have to wait. Take care of yourself.

You've written this so well, it shows your pain but I things will get better in time. It might take a long time but one day you'll wake up stronger and happier. Until then take care

Allysa,
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* and a comforting Pooh ditty
whenever I gets sad as I sometimes do
I hugs upon my Pooh bear who always loves me true
he never seems to grumble,he always has the time
and best of all he's always, totally completely, mine.  
Sorry if it's in poor taste

A beautiful poem, and so sad - as my favorite poet wrote, "love is so short, forgetting is so long".  I think everyone can identify with how you feel.

It takes a great deal of strength to admit what you have here.  More *hugs* to you, and I wish you the very best in life, because that's what we all deserve!
Wonderfully written poem!!
