I saw a shooting star cross the yellow moon
and disappear into the night like the dish and the spoon.
It painted a picture of things that used to be,
pictures of those lonely nights before there was a you and me.
It was when we were just two lonely hearts,
two star-crossed lovers that got lost in the dark.
We didn't know of the happiness that could be
or the outcome of our destiny.
I had nothing to offer, just me and that was all-
but you seemed to want more than you saw.
I didn't know how to prove my feelings to you,
to make you love me and not the things I could do.
I was confused and lost in my own ways,
caught between now and the yesterdays.
I didn't know what the future would bring
or if there was a future for you and me.
I knew I had feelings deep in my heart
and nothing in the world could tear them apart.
You were everything I had ever dreamed of
and made me forget the past and what it was.
I took a chance and told you what I thought.
You pretended not to know what I was talking about.
I finally got the nerve and just said I love you.
You looked at me and smiled and said you felt the same way, too.
From that moment on, we were together,
Every night and day, for always and forever.
Then a past love re-entered my life.
She gave me her promises and fed me her lies.
I was given my space but in the shadows you lingered
as you watched the one you love slip right through your fingers.
She took me away, just like you thought she would do,
just by saying three simple words, I love you.
And this lover used me for her own personal pleasure.
I was no longer considered one of her treasures.
She treated me bad and did what she chose,
never realizing her words hurt worse than her blows.
Though I had hurt you, you stood by my side.
You comforted me and wiped the tears from my eyes.
You brushed away the pain with one single touch
and said to me what we had must have never meant much.
You said you could never forgive me for what I had done
and the love you felt for me no longer runs.
Then you did nothing, just looked into my eyes,
then kissed me and said good-bye.

I love this poem! I have experienced similiar things, and it is something that people can definetly relate to. It is long, but the length only helps get your meaning across. Great job. Keep writing. -
Wow..such a heart-breaking piece, and beautifully written. I could feel the pain in your words. Anyway, I'd write more, but my keyboard kind of hates me right now...lovely poem though.

Well, good thing it was just a dream! For some unknown reason, I love the line "disappear into the night like the dish and the spoon." Anyway, you make such a simple idea (guy leaves love for exlove and regrets it, love doesnt forgive him) into such a beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading this!
