I just ran across this poem again while looking through my journal.. it was written about a year ago and is getting published (thanks to poetry.com)! It was surprising news to say the least!  
Anyways, hope ya'll enjoy it...

I Can Never

As I lay on the cold ground
Screaming at the night
I can't help but wonder
Why wont you come back and fight?

Not a war made of fists and blood
But a battle of betrayal, pain, and dying love.

Instead you leave me here to cry
With the harsh rain soaking me through
The lightening storm roars unforgiving
Like the emotional flood I feel for you.

You turned your back when I needed you most
Now you are nothing but a thought, a memory, a ghost.

I know I must get up and move on
From this I will be stronger than ever
But you left a deep scar on my soul
And I can forgive you... never.

I think this poem is great. the ending is very strong. It has so much strenth that it left me stuck to my seat motionless.....hehe ok well no....but still it should have.

great poem!
congrats on the publishing!

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

When it is said
Some say,
I say it just
Begins to live
