I have come to know what loneliness means,
how much a heart can truly break.
How my longing wells up tears shed for you,
as my heart fills up with heartache.
I try to forget but my heart won't let go,
to cling to each other is so wrong.
Both try to hold on to what we can not have,
in your arms I do not belong.
There is where I want to be most of all,
to have time stand still one night.
No other place on earth I want to stay,
why does something wrong, seem so right?
Missing you is now a part of my day,
some days it tears me apart.
I ask myself why did I let this happen,
fall in love with all my heart.
Dying a little more each day we are apart,
too many tears are taking its toll,
What a price to pay just for loving you,
gave you all my heart and soul.

Truth
This poem...sigh. It's so true...when you love someone...you just love them...even if you wonder why you let it happen...something you can't control...why you're torn apart...another thing you can't control.
"I try to forget but my heart won't let go,
to cling to each other is so wrong.
Both try to hold on to what we can not have,
in your arms I do not belong."
Both me and her feel this way...and it sucks. Sucks badly. And hurts worse.
"There is where I want to be most of all,
to have time stand still one night.
No other place on earth I want to stay,
why does something wrong, seem so right?"
So many times she says she wants that hug...to not let me go next time...and...gah. It just can't happen for us yet...
I love this piece. You've captured my heart and my mind both, as this is what I live. This has been my life for a while...and it'll probably always be like this. 9.5/10!

aww...i love that line "why did i let this happen"...as if we had any control over it in the first place. i can relate to this poem, as ive asked myself that question a million and two times.
great write! -
This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. Patricia

Quite the sad poem...though I suppose love is often sad...there are a few problems I have with the way the poem was written...but that is of no importance, as your feelings are well expressed as it is.

Awwww
This truly tugs at the heart strings
To love someone this intently and not have it "go anywhere" is just beyond painful; have been there and done that...
Wishing you the best in this contest, hon
