Lost in thought

0 posted 2003-08-20 04:09 AM



If I was there right now
would you let me hold your hand?
Could I wake you in the night,
Would you ever understand?

Is it just for recognition,
Just a comfort for the days?
Do you smile when you see me?
Do you want to change your ways?

If I cried into your shoulder
Would you ache to see my pain?
Would you laugh at my emotion?
Am I just here for the gain?

Or, is there something more?
Is there something unexpressed?
Could you dare to tell it to me,
I'm not terribly impressed.

Because I don't notice enjoyment,
When I never hear your voice.
And it seems like I'm unwanted...
But I guess, that is your choice.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

a sad, aching write, but written "matter-of-factly" to the point

a difficult acceptance

A write with strength and
stable character!

I enjoy a rhyming poem and
this one has a smooth and
sincere flow. Great work!

'Tiz feathers that make the bird -
Always remember to keep them fluffed
but, never, EVER ruffle them!
