I'll Never Know

What was in there all that time 
was it good or soft or even kind
tell me please was it bright and clear 
what was in there I would like to hear

Was it dusty and broken and hard to know
was it slowly lost some long time ago
did it mean to hurt and lie and scheme 
what was in there and what did it mean.

I'm in there now I know it true
my smile so big its haunting you
my voice so soft as though I'm there
wanting eyes and the sent of my hair

What was in there good or bad I'll never know
I have to learn to let this go
it's best to leave this sort behind 
I no longer care what's in Your mind.

Lee you have soup mail if you are interested...turn it on and you can receive private messages rather than me and others writing on your poem comment section. If you don't like it well Presto...you can always turn it back off..CHEERS

Lee you entered this poem in my contest" I think it is very good and should do well perhaps you would change the title to "is There Something you want to tell me" and after the contest put it back as you wish.your soup mail is off...perhaps you want to turn it on perhaps not take care Judy
