left behind

Why would you
hurt me so?

Do you find pleasure
in causing others pain?

My tears could
have flooded the lake...




I sat on the planked dock,
with my birthday balloons
all for you.

I had my invitation.

You knew the boat left
an hour before I would arrive.

You knew I would be here
left behind.



And I still wish you a
Happy Birthday,
because my heart
beats differently
than yours.

    i believe i have a love hate relationship wit this.
    it's a really good poem.
    and i really like it alot.

    but, (isn't that a lovey word? lol)
    i think it seems very common now adays.
    i think you could have put more detail or imagery into it.

    either way,
    this is a GREAT poem and i wish you the best of luck in your contest. :]

      I was going for that simple, plain easy thing in this write. I thought that too many details or feelings would upset the real picture. Thanks for the wonderful comments -- I like that you really took the time to read and see Betsy
