Smiling from day to day
Putting on a front so not to give away
Give away that I am empty
I am alone missing you
My friends try to help
They take away my pain when I think of you
The feeling of love is in my heart
It is eating away at me
It is like no one wants me
My soul looks for that one
The one that loves me back
Someone that wont say they love me then are gone
Take all that I have then leave me without hope
I put on a front to so many my parents don’t even see
See that I am depressed
I need the one that sees that I want something to last and grow and truly wants it with me
Not the one that says she knows this and wants it too when she she dose not know her self
My soul is still looking for that one
My heart beats so slow I can barley feel it
I wonder if that person will ever come

How beautiful, and yet, how sad. It made my heart ache, 'cause I know all too well those emotions. Thanks for a beautiful (and moving) write.
-
That was great, me love it!

It is easy to put on a front to mask the pain and suppress emotion but in the end all you are left with is a problem that is much worse than before...I like your expression in this write...

Beautiful. This is so good so much love is expressed with a mixture of depression. Bravo. Your Brother-Gaddy

This is very sad, although it may be just the thing for you to be in a new beginning. I have been through that before and I know that it is very tought to go through all that, even if your friends are helping you through it. But the only thing that will let you heal is time.. and trust me, it does work. Although for me, it was lots of time.. six months and still going time. ^^; Trust what these people say, there is someone out there that looks at the same moon, stars, that you might look at someday, and she's waiting to be in your arms to feel safe and loved everyday. The time will come when you and her will be surrounded by love and bliss, don't give up on love. Love will find you when you least expect it to.. ^^
Thank you for commenting on my poem, "Side View Mirror." Your comments are greatly appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read and leave one. We are getting better.. and it's just a slow process that I would like it to get back on track.

Sad, but good...as always!
Wow, Robin. This is so sad. I know EXACTLY how you feel too! I'm feeling this same way over Cory
All of my friends are trying to help me get over him, but it's a lot harder than they think it is. Just don't let it get you down like I've been letting it get me down, okay? You're a wonderful guy and any girl would be special if she got to have you. I know I felt special... just don't worry. Some great chic is gonna come and nock your socks off some day and then you won't even remember the hurt you've suffered before!
Lots of love

I can relate to this one...
bottled up emotions... pretending you are fine
when in reality, you are sad.
Pretending you are not crying
when in reality your heart is dying..
*sigh*
I can relate very much to this...
Thanks for sharing...
Always,

This is a very well written poem. I'm sorry for your loss... but you said that your soul is looking for someone who will love you back... it's looking for God. He will always love you. HE will never leave, nor forsake you. Well done on the poem.
God Bless you,

Quite stunning, actually. The reader can easily identify the emotions you express, draw upon, share, and relate your pain. I think that you have a gift for writing poems almost all people can relate to.
Looking forward to reading more! libraryangel

Yikes! I think that in my absence while being so tied up in my work...i have missed something. hmmmmm...
and this one made me sad, buddy...i don't like the idea of you out there feeling this way...but i do know how it feels...i have been there...yep, even me! lol...too many times...
It will pass, my friend. Even when it seems like it will not. You are a wonderful young man with a tremendous amount of love and compassion to give to someone. You will find what you seek one day. Just trust. It exists.

-
a truly awsome poem and it is so so true ~HopesAreLies/Alex

The putting on the mask. We all do it, and have it done to us! Very clever write and filled with emotion. You touched me with the pathos flowing from each line.

Take all that I have then leave me without hope
I put on a front to so many my parents don?t even see
See that I am depressed
yup, I know what you mean..I put on front everyday even with my friends. this was a great poem thanks for sharing!

Absolutely breaks my heart to hear someone as young as you, speak even poetically as though love has passed you by. Sweetie... you may ache..and thats ok....You are human you know, But... she will find you. And when she does...and when its right...all this will not even be a bad memory.
Such a lovely but sad write. To put up a front is something so many of us do. Is it better than luxuriating in sadness? I happen to think it is. Sometimes.... we can even fool ourselves by the front, long enough, til we dont have to fool anyone anymore.
I am one of those usually annoying optomists...If I make you sick...just slap me....I usually shut up. LOL
Hugs..

i love this poem..it is very sad and emotional..wow you are awesome..keep it up... i love your work!

Great
A very emotional piece. Speaking from the heart, whom suffers from depression, and the thought that they may never find the "one". Don't worry Robin, everyone goes through this. When you stop looking, love will find you. You must give it time. Be thankful of every relationship you've ever had, for you had a chance to love someone, and show them the happiness they deserved, no matter the heartache you endure now. This was a wonderful write. And i can relate to it completely. Just give it time, and all will be fine.. Keep your chin up!
