A Year - Time of remembrance
A year,
has it been a year already
one year ago we finally met
I wish that day either never ended
or never existed.
Three more days a year ago
It all ended
Three short days
but I wouldn't want to have missed it for the world.
The first half year without you
those months were filled with hope
hope that later became despair
I trusted you with my heart
I left it with you at your place
hoping you would return it
give it back to me when we would meet again.
Instead you lost it and never told me.
until you finally responded
all hope that was left within me disappeared
as you returned my broken heart and ran away.
You turned around, never to speak to or with me again.
I called out for you
screamed and cried in my mind
wandered in the dark.
But darkness never listened.
Like it did with the light,
it sucked away every sound
every word, every step
leaving me with nothing.
Months have passed
and darkness became brighter
as the sun tries to break through to shine
all I see is fragments
I smell familiar scents
feel the sun burn my skin
remembering me of the 3 warm sunny days.
thinking of the homemade breakfasts with you.
All I wanted to give you was love
love or friendship
I would've settled for both
all I want
is for a shoulder to cry on
a person to talk to
a friend to love and care for
to have the clock go backwards
and bring me back
back to the days we talked
the nights we've whispered on the phone
the stories we've shared.
All I want is for you to return
It's like our favorite song
-All I need-
just a word
a laugh
a voice
Friendship, Love, Truth
I want my heart to restore
and entrust it to you once more
for eternity...
Author notes
I wrote this about half a year ago (26.Jul.2003)...
Back then it was a year since I last saw or spoken to a girl who ment a great deal to me..
If you want more to know about the impact she had on me, I suggest you read my poem "Whirlwinds of Thoughts" and the other poems in the Gwen McLaren series here on AP..
This poem describes how I felt for year's period of my life.. a year that was quite hard for me with disturbed and razing winds of thoughts..

i like to read your pieces for several times.. as like today...

according to Kei-Aira's comment... some poems dont need the rythym or rhymes appear through all the poem, or they don't appear at all - blank verses,, white poems that the content matters and not floating,rythym etc... just pure thoughts and emotions.. they are more important than anything else...
I love it..it tells so much about you - dedicated guy with great heart that wants to sacrifice everything for THE person, to abandon everything... so sensual and touching... rhymes and rythym dont matter - these emotions are enough..

awesome
Oh my god you said once that I had described your feelings in one of my poems, but you just captured exactly how I felt am feeling. Wow was this an emotional piece, full of depth, it's absolutely beautiful. -
Hi. What an emotional piece! I really feel for you, but its good that you can express what you feel and allow otehrs to see this. At times the rhythm was a little off, but i think that if it was completely smooth and polished then you wouldn't have the raw emotion present. Great job. Good luck in the contest. X
