Walking along this dreary path of life
Occassionally looking back at all that I've done
I see times when the path was bright and full of love
Those are the times that you were with me
I tore us apart I know
And there is no turning back the hands of fate
Slowly I look forward at my path
A path of saddness without you
My path will never brighten again
Until the day that perhaps by fate
Our paths cross again

this is a nice bit of prose. I think that all writers write one like this in some way or another. I certainly remember mine. not eloquent, it's simplicity speaks volumes. perhaps sometimes a simple word can mean much more than an eloquent one spoken in length. perhaps you could rework it though since the rhythm is, sadly, lacking in strength and steadiness. it's halting beat is accentuated by the shortness of the selection. please, rework this and solidify the tempo and the rhythm. you will find it a much better poem.

Yes, this truly speaks volumes! Glad I found it! So many good ones seem to slip right on by!!
