A Few Steps Away From Paradise

You池e so young
A beautiful sight to see
I wanted so much
For you to come with me
You told me your story
Which is so sad and true
All I ever wanted
Was to hold on to you.

I知 just an old man
Giving out advice
I知 just a few steps
Away from paradise.

I held you when you cried
I was with you when you laughed
I kissed you with my love
I hugged you when you crashed
You made me feel young again
My heart beat anew
My mind drifted in a daze
My body rejoiced and flew.

I知 just an old man
Giving out advice
I知 just a few steps
Away from paradise.

But off you have gone
You致e left me here alone
The world awaits you
To open arms you roam
A piece of my heart
Has a giant empty space
For love once again escaped
Left me sitting in this place.

I知 just an old man
Giving out advice
I知 just a few steps
Away from paradise.

    HOW SAD AND LONELY THIS POEM LEFT ME FEELING. TO GIVE LOVE AND COMFORT TO SOMEONE AND THEY ARE TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL. SOUNDS MORE LIKE THEY HAD FAILED YOU INSTEAD OF YOU FAILING THEM. VERY WELL WRITTEN AND EXPRESSED.

    I believe that with some chords and notes and a drum
    loop this would make a great song.
    Has that upbeat rythmn and rhyme that creates its
    own 'bop'.
    Great poetry. You have my stamp of approval, without a doubt...

    Wow

    This was very beautiful and sad Charley. It even felt like you were writing it about me. Ofcourse it could be to many people. It was very heart breaking and I nearly cried as I read it. I love you very much.

    Aw, this seemed quite sad. This makes me think of how some people may give people all their heart and try to treat people as best as they can only to get rejection and loneliness in return. This poem had a nice flow to it. Good luck with finding paradise. Keep writing.
