Refused To See

There are still nights Up alone, I think of you How right you were But still how very wrong How can that be? I battle amongst myself Temptation to call Just want to hear your voice See your face Though I know it’s wrong I want to touch your lips With mine Remember the kiss I left? How sweet and gentle The lips of an angel You gave it what you could I asked for more You had nothing left Though you looked So I left Feeling you were used What you gave me Was what I was after I refused to change Refused to see

Nice. I see some of your experiences are same as mine throughout life. Btw i would consider it's form to be a lyric poem (since it clearly expresses the author's feelings, in other words you.)

My heart felt sad with every word! :( What a beautiful poem from the heart. They say each person represent a reason, a season, or a life time... A life time love seems like the best gift of the three however "A Reason" I believe is the greatest! It may hurt the most but there was a direct reason for that person (angel) was apart of your life. How special you must be that "Heaven rained just for you!" ;)
