Those eyes...
Those are what caught me
when I felt I could never love again.
Every emotion I thought strayed from this being
came back to me...
Those eyes equating innocence
have never left this heart or soul
and neither has the beauty of who they belong to.
All my life I thought I found them,
and everytime I was wrong.
A picture is worth a thousand words,
but the image of you was worth my life.
It's so sad to only have that in memory now.
Nothing I can do will bring those to reality again,
bring them to me again...
Misery's treachery has done its work on me,
because everytime I look in the mirror
I'm only lost in the gaze of my own reflection,
lost and lonely.
I've never felt so empty,
but I think I'll feel it forever.
And as I look in the mirror and see my own eyes
I see tears running rivers beneath them,
because the cold icey stare I've had for so long
is beginning to thaw
because as much as I want you beside me,
as much as I long to hold you in my arms
and feel your heartbeat against mine,
I remember that it will never be again.
If all of this was a waste of my time
and it wasn't meant to be
so be it...
because I will never regret loving you
but I will always fall at knowing I lost you..
I will never regret trying to be all I can
all I am
all I ever wanted to be
for you.
If there is life after death,
one last chance to see your smile
if only for a moment,
I'm hoping it's soon...
With nothing left
there's nothing I wouldn't do,
nothing I wouldn't sacrafice,
to gaze into the eyes of my last love
just one last time.

"A picture is worth a thousand words,
but the image of you was worth my life"
My all time favorite line! This is a very moving peace. Very powerful. Very true. And very sad. I loved every word, and every line. You did a fantastic job with this. Keep it up!

ahhh. this wass good, but also extremely sad. the begining was really warm. it made me feel wanted, the way the most important people in my life make me feel. i loved the lines "A picture is worth a thousand words,
but the image of you was worth my life."
it's amazing. the way it describes the meaning that one holds in anothers life. it basically made me melt inside. and then so quickly,the next line goes on to explain how it is only a memory. it's so relevant to real life,how one second you're reading your life,and everything is just fine,then the next line that life gives to you,everything is turned upside down and there's nothing left to even breathe for. so this has left me with the complete two opposite feelings from the begining to the end. starting off with warmth,and leaving me with cold. it hurts to read because it's true. we always turn away from what hurts the most, one of the many ways people learn to cope. anyways. this was really good. i'm glad you told me to read it. and sorry for the extra long comment. lmaao. i couldn't help myself.

wow.
I liked the last two stanzas the most of the whole poem. They said a lot.
You're coming along in your own style. Very good.
