As I Pass By

To anyone who's lost a loved one.

All alone once more

Should I even bother to knock on your door?

To ask for another chance

We use to be best friends

But you see, you left me

There is more to this story

I won't speak of it now

Letting old memories linger

Will only cause more pain

Moving on is the next best thing

I don't want to live in vain

So, I pass by your door

Knowing I will see you never more

Walking by with my head held high

Hoping not to cry

Without you by my side

I will try to stay strong

And just keep moving along

Rouses bittersweet feelings of both love and loss, along with the determination to continue despite the part of us we leave behind. Nicely written...

Excellently constructed, outpouring of the feelings of rejection...a write that is also a pertinent expression of strength; the strength to move on. Nicely written.

I agree, it makes me kind of sad. It's still an excellent poem, though. Great work! (:

It's kind of sad to me. Hope that girl will find someone to replace him.

Sometime we feel a second rejection. But life is a fair journey. Those who give more will have many friends and be content. I like the feel of the poem. A sadness of a need that can't be filled. A excellent poem.

As I pass by...Nice I know how that is....When your try to get someones attention but you completely blown off! it's so HARSH! so this is a nice read, but when something goes wrong, get up and remember you passed by you tried but sometimes some things don't go your way.
