Where Your Heart Is

by AGirlWorthFightingFor   May 28, 2006


Do you really believe that love's not meant to last
or is that just what you tell everyone
To prevent another mistake
To stop you from falling?
...You're so sentimental

I don't know you that well but
(I'd like to change that)
I know what it's like
To not know where your home is
To only know where your soul is
To have your heart scattered
in many different pieces
&& nobody remembers to write or return your calls
except maybe. just. this. one..

I know what it's like to leave behind friends
you thought you'd grow up with
Who'd be there forever
Go to prom, graduation, all those normal experiences
Normal kids have
(What is normal anyway?)
...We should be more sentimental

Forever...you don't even know
how long that is
It has lost all meaning...
I miss them...
&& all the pictures that I took of those last days together
got lost in the transaction
(Sorry I'm still bitter)

So we have no faith
Because we have no place
Where are you going?
All that matters
Where are you going to stay?

What is our reason...save our ambition
We're becoming everything we swore to hate
&& all the talk && rushed goodbyes
were breathed in vain
When a minute later they stop && sigh
what a waste

You && I dread the day that you are gone
Just like everybody else
You're not like anybody else
You're not like anybody else

    I liked the poem. I thought it flowed very well, and I appreicated your creative use of punctuation. Is there some reason why you use the double ampersand to mean 'and', instead of just typing the word? Habit? Or is there some significance?

    You speak so much truth in this piece my dear. It's very well thought out.
    I myself have felt much of what you express in this. I guess it's all a part of life.
    I really liked this part, so relatable:

    "&& all the pictures that I took of those last days together
    got lost in the transaction"

    Well done. Take care and keep it up~Holly
