he forgot to listen now silence is all he hears he forgot to listen his company is just his tears if he had listened and let her fly if he had listened instead of made her cry he forgot to listen and she slipped away he forgot to listen as she had her final say Shall we live to breathe again? Or simply just exsist in this limbo we dare to call life! ~Maya 2/20/00 |

I wish sometimes that I had listened to those who passed on...Great poem! Very thought-provoking!!! "I know I should have told you But I was so afraid you'd leave And now there's nothing left to say Well nothing that you'd believe I never meant to hurt you With the things I couldn't say I promise you tomorrow While denying you today..." by Stabbing Westward |

Talk about putting a lot into a little space! That's what you've done here, Maya--taken a big message and put it into a simple poem. How I wish I could do that! Beautiful piece of work, Maya! Little Spyro T. Dragon |

Thanks so much guys for your wonderful replies. I wrote this on the spur of the moment, after I was feeling a bit upset with someone, and wanted him to see what he hadn't done. Dunno if it matters, or even did any good, but it's off my chest now! Thanks for the bandaid just_another I needed it greatly! Maya Shall we live to breathe again?

Like everyone else i agree that you succesfully fit a huge idea into a short poem. something that`s very difficult to do. This happens to strike a personal note with me as well, as i have been in a similar situation. "He forgot to listen now silence is all he hears" That was my favourite line. Great job Maya!

Hi Maya. X Angel sent me to have a look at this poem. It's very powerful and very sad stuff. I can relate to this. You see, I did what the guy in this poem did Unfortunately, life isn't a VCR and there's no rewind button, no way to edit out mistakes. You have my deepest sympathy and, for what it's worth, if this guy has a single ounce of compassion in his heart, he'll regret the pain he caused you for the rest of his life. A good poem and I hope you can move on and that your pain will ease soon. |

Very well done. For some listening is a lost art and they end up being lost themselves. Left alone with their inability to really hear, understand or feel what is truly important - to the one (or ones)who love them. Heed what is important to others because someday you may wish it had been important to you. |
