I noticed something different
In the way she looked at me
Her eyes were saddened and lonely
No smiles throughout eternity
She wanted me to save her
To just carry her away
She had no one to turn to
Only me on this day
But what can I do
To chase away her tears
To make her smile so brightly
To vanish away her fears
I wanted so badly to help her
Yet I walked away, you see
For this person I was looking at
Was just a reflection of me

No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry

All i want in life is to be happy

Everytime i get ahead
I fell more dead

Oh, another one here who understands that feeling. Great writing and so very true. How do you help yourself anyway, when you can't even listen to reason?

Dark_Kisses,
I enjoyed your poem, the content was poignant and hard to deal with, but it had a strong theme that carried it through and the meter was perfect.
Be well
