There must be something in my eye
Something
I cannot make out this view
Something
Destructs it's path of light to shine through
Something
It's so hard, I cannot tell
Something
It's your face...
And down my heart

It was a sweet style. It inspired me to try new things. Creative. It made me think of how life has unexpected turns and how we can easily become confused.

There is something sad about this. It feels as though you are trying to make a break through, but there's this obstacle ahead of you. And, it's him......

Thanks for the commets. This one could be thought of in two ways... 1)You can't move on because this person (or their memory) keeps holding you back. and 2)A memory of this person is one that you love above all things and you're starting to forget this memory. This person's face grows more blurry each day... and when you realize that you're forgettig something you loved SO much it makes you go into this saddened depression.

When I was reading this poem, I envisioned it the second way you mentioned.  I can relate to this poem a lot, plus I liked the creative style you used at the end.

By the way, I like your name...I'm an Allison too...lol...

I too feel the poem speaks with the second explaination- how sad.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Either way you take it, it's a sad and powerful poem. Well done, Allison!
