Were you there the day the music died?
Did you want to hold me when I cried?
Did you fight to stand there by my side
When I was in despair

Did you keep me safe within your arms?
Did you protect me from all harm?
Or did you win me over with your charm,
running fingers through my hair?

Did you simply see your chance
To get what you wanted with one dance?
You saw me hurting with one glance
And decided to fool my heart.

And like a fool I went along.
When we danced I sang the songs.
I thought I could be wrong,
So I gladly played my part.

And now I lie here wondering why
I ever thought you and I
Could fall in love and never cry
Again for what we've done.

I'm terrified of the way I feel
Now that I know your love isn't real.
I'm not sure my heart will ever heal,
Because all I can do is run.

I run from the future, but mostly the past
Through the fields and the forests, so very fast.
Through the moonlight that midnight has cast
Onto my crying face.

I've prayed tht you would decide to stay,
That I could keep you one more day,
And that you wouldn't turn away
And leave me in this place.

But I"ve fooled myself for much too long,
That our love was not a tragic song.
And I assume you will be gone,
No time left to borrow.

I'll try to smile when you say good-bye
And wait untill your gone to cry.
You'll be strong and so will I
Although I feel such sorrow.

And so I'll face this world alone,
cold as ice ,and hard as stone,
Untill true love comes along.
I've nothing left to fear.

But when our love has long been dead,
When we've moved to the long road ahead,
And I'm lying awake in bed,
Your memory will be here!

Love can be a painful thing, can't it?  Powerful work here, I enjoyed it!

Nice to see you posting again. This was, yet another great one.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

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

Yet again I have to tell you I like the poem, please tell Sara that we like them!  I liked the flow of this and the rhyme scheme was cool.  What poetry site is sara at?

I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be great, to put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

By far the best stanza, this really hit me hard. Great job you two!

Memories of lost love, sometimes good, often bad...  but once all remembered, make us sad that it is gone...  although there can be exceptions to this, but i know it is for me!!  Hope all improves for you!!

oh dang!!!  This poem has made me feel mad and sad at the same time.  Too much emotions in this one.  I have one question...What did u mean at the start of the poem?  Are you trying to say that basically he tried to get with ya when you were hurting for someone else, when you were at a vulnerable stage.  If that's what you are saying, this guy is a low life...don't even sweat him.  Taking advantage of someone in that stage is not good.  that's whats making me mad right now    Back to your poem...amazing!!!! keep posting
