When I'm asleep, I dream of you,
When I awaken, I think of you,
When I manage to move about,
All I can do is wonder where you are now.

I think of all those days, I was around you,
And of all those nights you held me close,
I was so happy,
Nothing but sheer delight.

Something happened,
And I got scared,
I ran away from you,
I tried to move on.

And yet, here I am wondering...
"what- if's" flailing about in my mind,
I'm left here missing "us",
Now merely a photo-album of regrets.

Radical. I love the last line
"a photo album of regrets"
Hope to see you post again.

Very nicely done jenn! i thought this was great! Quite sad, but still you wrote thise very well.

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

Aww it doesn't help reading a sad poem AND listening to sad music at the same time.

Pulls on the heart strings Jenn. Nicely written.

I like this a lot. It's hard to give something like that up, and go from one day having someone be there for you, and the next knowing you hurt someone... wow, I know exactly what you're talking about, can you tell Very good poem.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

wow, that's so sad! That hurts a lot when a girl does that, or a guy. Bad memories.

Very good job on this one, Jenn. I loved the last line, I think that it sounded quite professional! "A photo album of regrets..." Very good display of your skill here.
I'm impressed, truly.

I really like this piece. Full of regret and longing... I can relate! You express yourself beautifully, however. Thanks for sharing.

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.

Hey Jenn this was a great poem

it's sad though to read poems like this from you.  I relate way to well and I know how painful it is sometimes.  Any how try not to let it eat you up to much, just try to learn and from these types of situations. (Cliche, but it's true)

This one was great.  Why did it take me so long to find it?  Hmmm.  It seems everyone else has already replied.  Well, the point is, I didnt miss a great poem, I caught it just in time!

*~*Amanda*~*

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

Awwww this is sad!     So sorry to hear about your regrets, sounds like a painful situation.  But I'm sure the feelings will pass and I wish you luck.  I like this.
