The wind whistles wildly outside
On this sticky June night
And I sit awake at beds side
Waiting for that phone to ring

It pains my soul to know
That tonight 'twill prove
The seeds of love that I did sow
Have been wasted on you

Could see you sitting there, knees to chest, arms wrapped tightly around them...well done!

Secret Whisper, everything is more in focus in the middle of the night as we wait..... Sometimes we are lucky! This time we got a great poem from you. Sorry about the night, but a great poem. ME

Don't wait too long my dear, it will only hurt you more.

Love your poem, very imaginative.

*Hugs* for a painfully lovely write ...

I believe that no love is ever wasted ...
for it plants memories in our garden,
that will someday produce the sweetest fragrance of recall.

*smile* this is a wonderfully emotional piece.

Yes, the night does tend to exaggerate some feelings we might have...and insomnia will further blow them up...but, great write, SW...nicely expressed...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Sounds like a long night, but from it a good visual piece in a minimum of words. I like that.

Agree with all the others. Very strong picture. And a sad ending. I hate when love has been wasted.

Wasted love. I hope you have in some way benefitted from this experience. Love is a strong emotion. It can drive us to do things that we normally would not do. Find someone that deserves your love.
