My Poets Corner
Where to begin is the hardest part of all
What to say, what to write
Why is still a mystery
Why was I answered and then denied
Watching, waiting, wondering; why
When I knew the answer all along
When I saw it in your eyes
Still I managed to fall
I opened my heart and soul
Only to watch it crumble
A feeling I know all too well
Yet I can still see you
My mind is tortured
With images of a time never allowed
Joys never felt
Feelings never known
Never will I be free
Never again will I love another
Never again will I
Open my heart and soul
I thought we could be happy
Dancing, laughing, playing
Only in my dreams
Will I see the sweetest of things
My heart aches for you
To be healed by your warmth
To be touched by your words
To be loved with your love
Not a day goes by
Where I wish to hold you
To feel your strength
To feel your warmth
Not a night goes by
When I close my eyes
I can see you there
Where my wildest dreams come true
I imagined so much
In such a short time
Wanted more, much more
And got nothing
Even after hearing the truth
My heart still will not let go
Of a dream so real
Yet so far
I will never be free
Yet you gave me strength
To make my escape
Only to watch it vanish
