I had you in the palm of my hand
You wanted me, and I wanted you
You asked for no more than my hand
No more than a hug
No more than a smile
But from you I begged and pleaded
I wanted more.. but I wanted less
I was so confused
In your pictures you drew
So many happy things, I saw a future
And I ran
Too many excuses
Even though for time
Before we made it known
You were there to lift my spirits
And take my pain from me
You wanted my eyes to be open
To the world that surrounded me, and you broke
The only shell of protection
I spent years building
And in that one touch of your hand
My stomach turned, a trick it was accustomed to
When you walked by
And you
You were a sparkle
But that wasnt ggod enough
Or so I thought at the time
And so I turned and looked into another direction
Only half holding your hand,
And letting go when ever I could
A hug was so hard to get from me
And my smile slowly disapeared when you walked near
I was afraid
Afraid of you, and the promises of tomorrow you brought
And now
It hasnt been to long
I find myself looming over your notes
And all the little pictures you drew me
Wanting you to be close
As close as you can be
A stuffed rose in your hand
I felt a chill run doen my spine, and it quickly vanished
For that rose wasnt for me
And neither was that smile
And I found a mistake I had made
In not giving you my everything, when you only wanted so little
And so I sit
Your face and words on my mind
"If you didnt want to you wouldnt have"
That line shall haunt me forever
Beacsue that is exactly what I did
I didnt want to give and so I didnt
So i shall say good bye to you
For I am not worth a second chance
I broke that bond and told a lie
And for that I get what I deserve
I am sorry, and I shall leave with that

Love lives can be tough, but it's better than not having one at all(i.e me). I won't go into that whole cliche about love and loss, but, suffice to say that you are not alone.
Moving on, I like how, despite the length of this poem, it still flowed from line to line without being redundant or boring.

Sad!!! Very nice, very moving, so emotional. I think I know where you're coming from, I just don't know the guy. Awesome job, looking forward to more of your masterpieces!
