Tears of a Lost Soul

it was for one of my old short stories

 

I had known my feelings

For years, but could it have been true?

Wasn’t I too young to have fallen for you?

I see now love has no age

But, alas, it’s too late to read that page

Too early has the end come to our book

Never have I seen it, not one look

That’s the punishment for a coward

With these tears, I am showered

Angel, are you watching me?

I hope you are, so you see

My heart has always belonged to you

I was afraid, but now I wish you knew

There are no ways for me to love you less

But I waited, now look at me, I’m a mess

And now all I have for you is poetry

Filled with pointless rhyming chemistry

Now I wish I could’ve run away from love

But it held me, and towards you, shoved

If I was smart, I would have fought

But in your arms, I was caught

To think I was the one you’d pick

You surprised me with three words, Nick

When you told me, I couldn’t reply, it broke your heart

You ran away, I’m sorry I tore you apart!

Why did I have to be so stupid?

I had to ignore the will of Cupid

I’m so sorry, my soul is full of guilt

Some one run me through to the hilt!

But I know you want me to live long

Why, Nick? I’m not that strong

Maybe if I had said something, we’d be together

And neither of us would move, we’d be forever

Or is that just another childish dream?

Because, right now, that’s how it seems

I think what hurts the most is not knowing

If we would be strong together in the rivers of love, rowing

Hopefully, I will fall asleep and see you soon

I need to know you’re okay, in my dreams at noon

Unless I do, I will cower in grief, like a blind mole

And I’ll wash away in the tears of your lost soul

Well, it's a nice thought-out mature poem. And, wow 12 years old eh? How old are you now?

[Sheila Marie Carr]

Such huge feelings for someone so young, but like you say love has no age
When you love it has no boundaries and you proved that in this beautiful piece of art

[Michelle Lea]

I agree with Rakerman1 this is a very mature write for 12... it was a very well structured piece, well put together, the flow was nice along with the rhyme! I hope to see more writes from you soon. (-:

Very mature writing for a 12 yr old. I'd like to read some recent poetry from you.


Well done

What a wonderful poem you've got here! It's amazing! I love it! Such emotion and feeing! Such detail! Fantastic poem! I love the vibe of it! :D

[BlyndSikick]

Nice poem. Especially considering it was written at twelve. You do a great job playing on the fear that goes along with a relationship.
