He never knew
the power he held
when he looked in her eyes
She started to melt
And he didn't know
What she'd feel everytime
He held her hand
Oh, what ran through her mind
And her didnt feel
All the love that she knew
So he packed all his things
and bid "adieu"
The second he left
she burst into tears
Because, with him gone,
she'd realized her fears
Her heart'd become heavy
Her hands'd become cold
She'd cry everynight
'til the days she grew old
She felt all this pain
yet had nothing to do
she was never the same
Since he'd bid "adieu"
She couldn't live
like this anymore
So she left all her things
and walked out the door.
She didn't know how
She wasn't sure when
But she knew that some day
"They"'d be again
With this thought in mind
she made for the lake
One simple word
was all that she'd speak
'Adieu, my love'
She thought for awhile
Then slowly fell forward
"Adieu." With a smile.

I cant believe how long i waited
for the boy to turn into my man...

Now if i could figure out, if it was worth the wait.

hmm, very interesting. one complaint: you said 'her' somewhere instead of him...i'll look where, 9th line..i got really confused until i figured out you meant him.

otherwise parts of this poem were kinda cliche, but a lot of it was creative...i think it was a fairly nice mix. i really liked the ending, and i felt like i had to reply to this because 0 replys?? come on people, we're slackin!

once again i like this, i'm not sure if its' up there with your best or not...it's a thinker.  i am happy with 99 percent of it, but for some reason there is just one tiny bit that bugs me and i can't figure out what it is.  hopefully that didn't offend you or anything, but in the end i like it anyway.

Hmm.. *scratches her head* I thought I replied to this. But I do have to agree.. people and replies are rare.

I liked this poem.. it was different. I also noticed the him/her mix up, but after a couple read throughs I understood, lol.

Hey, thank you for commenting. I typed this one in a rush, Yeah line 9 is supposed to say "and he" I wasnt sure if i liked this one either, and then other people said it was good, so i was like OK post it. Get it over with. I've been coming up with alot of stuff lately, even added a chapter to my book, and it only took me an hour. So yeah, i know ive been throwing alot of my poetry out there for everyone to read. ignore me if you want. im perfectly okay with that. lol.
And bergundy, thanks for replying to this one. I know what you mean, i didnt really like it too much either. its...good, but off, just a little bit. Oh well. thank you again!
