You told me as child
You would always stay
Only your dark shadow remains
Since the day you went away.

The breeze rocks the broken swing
Chldren no longer play
Laughter rings only in the past
Since the day you went away.

Sun was always shining bright
But now the skies are gray
Rain floods the world so young
Since the day you went away.

Birds used to sweetly sing
At the dawn of each new day
Now the world remains deathly silent
Since the day you went away.

I'd take your hand and you'd take mine
While you lead the way
Now who will lead me far beyond
Who will lead me away?

Since you left
Melancholy is not more unknown
To me.
==========
Me thinks this will be my last post. Lately, my poetry has not been very...deep.When I return (ooh, that dreaded day...hehe.) I'll post up another poem...muahaha. I think I need a break...

*sighs*... yeah it was deep. very sad. when I read these emotional posts, I really want to know the stories behind the lives of the people that wrote them with such passion... I want to know all about them. but I suppose that might ruin the abiguity of it and the personal interpretations of the readers....

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

You're going away?!?!?!! Nope, that will not do at all. You are going to get your butt back here and write some more poetry like this because it is really good.

No excuses either, Deejay.

Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!!

Wonderful poem! I wish you weren't leaving but I do understand those poetry ruts. Good luck in your poetry writing.
