Softly I call you
feel the whisper of your reply
Touched by your smile
and wondering why

Each mannerism seen
memorized with pain
knowing you go back to her
forever to remain

Your eyes close to mine
so your soul I cannot see
Slowly, ever slowly
you draw away from me

Goodbye is such a sad word
so you’ll not hear it today
I’ll cry it out in my sleep
after you’ve gone away.

PdV....nice to see you writing again....

I could so relate to this...I'll keep this one in my heart. I keep looking for that "happy place" to keep the memory though.
Thank you for sharing this one.

Beautiful but sad, deVine one. Sometimes, that is a good rule - never let 'em see you cry.

Sharon, such a heartbreaking piece... and so beautiful. I can really relate to this situation. If you can't keep anything else, keep your pride. Thanks for posting.

I think you must have been peeking into
my heart when you were writing this.

ABSOLUTELY beautifully sad


Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul.

PdV...this is so softly sad...and 'deers right...dont let 'em see you cry when you are hurt.

Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings

*sigh*(bittersweet)
yes...very sad Sharon...
so much emotion found in this soft whisper
its beauty is in its melancholy sincerity expressed so well
take care

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

I've written this too often myself.

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."
