Gone; no goodbyes Sudden distortion of reality as a young girl tries to put together a jigsaw, shy of many pieces. Growing and learning, maturing girl wonders why he went. She wishes that man full of mystery could have seen her at the prom, at graduation; and she wonders if he knows she's eighteen years old --since he never could get it right. Often she thinks that he is closeby, watching her trade in her youth for knowledge. And still, after all these silent years, not a word, she feels he's coming back... She knows...he'll be back ------------------------------------ I wrote this on 3/4/95 (age 18) while thinking about how my father had disappeared from my life when I was 13 (I have since gained contact with him, however, in 2000 -- see, I knew!) |

that really touches me I never knew my realparents or at least I can't remember them I was put up for adoption at one. So your poem really touches me. It tells me of a girl that longs for somthig that she had but lost. |

Cytten, thanks for your kind feedback, and I'm sorry for your situation. I do not know what that must be like, but I do know that it is hard not having parents around. I wish you the best, and am glad you enjoyed my poem.  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |
