Cynthia Alvez Poet Free verse

Secrets of My Mind

He offered a penny for my thoughts
But I was afraid to let him share
The secrets of my mind...
Afraid he would laugh or perhaps
Misunderstand, think me foolish.

We said goodbye and he never knew
I loved him...
I find no comfort with the secrets
Of my mind
And wonder if he gives thought now
To the foolish girl he left behind.

Denver Reese October 2, 2012 at 10:04 PM The rhyme at the end is so powerful for some reason. I think it's because it's the only rhyme in the poem so it stands out more. I understand this poem, but from a guys point of view. It happens all to often doesn't it? Cynthia Alvez October 2, 2012 at 10:40 PM Denver, Thank you for your comment. It does happen too often...I still wonder, although it happene long ago. I love having a "guys" point of view.
