She stands in the blooming meadow
As the flowers around her sway.
Two salty, bitter tears run down
Her cheeks, which she wipes away.

His image looms before her eyes,
His features so strong and sure.
The love she felt and gave to him
Was so innocent and pure.

The image flits away again,
Her heart, again, it breaks.
The man she used to love so much
Always her heart he takes.

A bitter laugh escapes her throat,
It's sound, so cold and dead.
She never would forget that day
When he chose her instead...

Sad to say, but I know this feeling too well. You did an excellent job in expressing it. Welcome to Dark Passions!
I hope to read more of your work!

Welcome to passions!

This is a painful first entry - and one with which I can well identify.

I too welcome you to passions. I liked this very much and can totally relate. For you see, I've never been the one chosen either, rather I'm the one who always gets discarded. Thank you for sharing this piece. I look forward to reading more of your work. Take care!

Welcome to Passions... a fine first post, I too can relate all too well to your feelings here. Just comfort yourself with the knowledge you know HE is WRONG, he is the one losing out here....

Welcome to passions!
Yes well this is very very sad. Very well written though and I liked it a lot. I hope to see you around and posting more!

I must say that this is one of the worst feelings in the world, to watch the one you love, love someone else in return. I can sympathize with you because...well I'm in a complicated situation most likely headed in that direction... anyway...

Welcome to passions, and I'm sorry your first entry had to be such a painful one (but thena gain, aren't most entries in this forum)? ;-)

Best of luck with your heart and self.
