Why is it when I say goodbye...
I postpone the ineviteble tears
with nervous laughter sung through reddened eyes
I tremble with fear of the vast unknown
and shrink away from possibilities
I have stomachs full of pain and grumbling
that ache at even the mention of love
I shrivel away from each new man's touch
though we ache for fulfillment to be found
I grovel for a past I ran from
and hide from the future in which I crave
Why is it when I say goodbye...
I have no where to turn in my running
and noone to hold me in the crying
and all I really want to do is turn
around fast,
running back
to say
hello

Why is it indeed??? Seems as though our lives are destined to be one where our paths only cross with those that doen't deserve us! How are you my long lost friend? I'll be back more often now... much as you, my life is never met with one that knows how to cherish the gift that was given to them.
This is beautifully written...as always!

Your poetry is allways so full of emotions and touches the soul of the reader, may you find a smile in your life as you deserve it. Love John
She stands alone in darkness
Moonlight flowing within tears
Feeling so lost and so alone
Yet in shadows I stand near
Like a ghostly shadow seen
I hold her hand soft tight
Standing in the shadows still
There with the bright moonlight

shouldnt it be run back>running back at the end? We all seem to run from things at one time or another. Very well done. Rose
