She drove her car the path she took day after day and wondered how to tell him, everything would change. She knew he'd be shocked and probably a little scared, she knew this could end it and brign such pain her way. The driveway came too soon The engine died too quick The door was too close He answered too fast. His mood looked so good It was all about to change, just like everything else in their lives as soon as she told him. He could tell by her face that something was not quite right, he could tell she had been crying by the redeness in her beautiful green eyes. He let her inside and told her no one was home that she could tell him anything just let him in. She had run through the words a million times in her head, she had known just what to say but nothing came out now. Finally she told him the very thing she had always dread, but first she told him she loved him and he responded with the same. He looked at her with a look that she couldn't ever describe again, a mixture of fear, and uncertainty of not knowing how this would ever end they were too young to be dealing with this they were too young for this change, the were too young to have a child for they were children themselves. He reached out to hold unsure what to say they held on to one another and each said a silent prayer. Hers were of him not leaving her with this alone, His quite different asking for the strength to be a man. They couldn't let go for the fear of reality hitting, scared of what they had done petrified of what they would have to do. And they finally let go not of each other, but of the life they had known for it was time to become adults. "In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life: It Goes On" ~Robert Frost |

great, great poem. you kept the news a mystery for a good length of the poem. i liked that. and the theme was beautiful. not about giving up or running away, but facing it together. i also like the stanza about their prayers. excellent work indeed. as always i am impressed. Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

I think this is a wonderfuk poem. You described the aunguish one goes through in this situation beautifully. Makes me wonder how autobiographical this poem is . . . any beautiful poem and I must say if these people are real then my prayers are with them.

The poem was great  I had a similar experience wiht a girl I thouhg my life was ending and I was going to be a young father, but everything is alright now she was ok. I want to thank you for putting into words what I wanted to express because I tried to and I put up a poem, but it was brought down due to adult content in the forums so I thank you and hope to read more of your work |

TrueLuv I'm glad you felt a connection with this poem. It's tough when you think your life is about to change and really it's all your own fault realy. I'm glad to hear everything worked out ok in your situation, but even if it hadn't and you had become a young father your life would not have ended it would have just changed, probably become a little harder with a lot more responsiblity but it wouldn't have ended. You can still have a life after you've had a child it just becomes a little more difficult... I'm glad everything worked out in your life.
