IF ONLY YOU KNEW

Your sultry sensual look I still embrace As I think of those mesmerizing violet eyes, My heart then quickens and starts to race, If only you knew what you still do to me. Whose fault was it that sad sad night, When you spoke those unjust words, Was it meant for me to run away in fright, If you only knew, how much I still love you. Maybe it was me, or perhaps it was you began An argument that was bitter, that left me mad, But know that when you ran away, I also ran, If you only knew that I could never forget you. You dazzled me, with your graceful, swan like neck, Frolicked with your cleavage, your creamy breasts, Rising and falling, knowing I desired, needed you, If only you knew that you were the soul of my heart. I ran after you to catch you, but I was too late, The rain was pouring you tripped, hit your head, I picked up your lifeless body, it was your fate, If only you knew your death was the end of me. Written for Silent One's contest However Not Entered as the stipulated number of poems was met.

A moving contemplation on love, sorrow, and remorse, Dear Jennifer, conveys the speaker's profound emotional anguish as he or she tries to make sense of a loved one's death and the terrible circumstances surrounding it. An emotionally intense and riveting work, made all the more so by the well-structured rhyme and striking imagery.
