Standing side by side.
You were right there,
Next to me.
So many things I wanted to say,
But instead I said nothing at all.
Standing side by side.
I turn to speak,
But words don't come.
Our back to the wall,
We look around in silence.
You begin to move.
Wait don't leave.
I try to speak once more,
But it's no use your gone.

I liked this........I really like the sense of you just getting left hanging there at the end. Kind of sad if you ask me. Very nicely done here........and welcome to passions.......I do hope you post more and enjoy your stay!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Welcome to Passions!

I hate moments like those. When the words are there in your heart, but they're missing from your lips. Great poem!

Welcome to Passions!
This is a wonderful first post. I can definently relate to this. It seems that we never seem to have the courage to say what needs to be said until it's too late. You describe it well. Thanks for sharing

I love how you expressed the situation in this piece. You create a great unity between yourself and the person you speak of. It makes it evident that she and you are in the exact same situation. It almost makes you seem sympathetic of one another.
Welcome to Passions. I see you have a talent for making odd underlinings to a piece. I'll keep reading your work.

this was a very good poem. To let you know my completely honest opinion, it could be an excellent poem with punctuation to speed up and slow down the reader at different spots.
I'm simply speculating here, but I would guess from how you wrote it, the poem would be helped a lot by taking out the periods after "standing side by side" both times in the poem. Then for dramatic effect, I would think either a run of periods or dashes after
"You begin to move" might emphasize the movement and stress the "Wait don't leave" better with an exclamation.

It's simply punctuation, but if you haven't really thought of the importance of punctuation before then it could add a new dimension to your writing.
