Losing his lady

by Ingrid   Jan 6, 2009


Losing his lady

A figure alone in a crowd, head held high
His pace is steady and his vision is clear
People rush by but he does not see them
He is thinking about the one he holds dear

How he came to lose her, how fast it all went
Angry words were spoken and many goodbyes
Every rant and curse he threw at his lady
she answered with kisses and soft cries

Never had a man used such words on her,
being used to kindness and respect
And although she loved him dearly
she suffered severely for all that he lacked

Looking back it all becomes so clear to him
and his head sinks to his chest remembering
Every threat and accusation and how she bled
Until she went numb and walked away surrendering

So afraid he was to love someone like her,
that he gave up on the one most dear
Like so many he chose to deny his feelings
Everyone hides their darkest shades of fear

Contest poem, based on the quote:
"Everyone hides their darkest shades of fear."

    Good job. It is a shame that when we fear something, we lash out at those closest to us and hurt them in the process. 5/5

    What i admire most about your poems, are that by reading most of them it makes us takes a hard look at ourselves. So many of us can relates to a poem like this. Many of us today denies our feelings for the one who loves us. The hardest thing about it, is that, we're not only punishes our ownselves, but the ones who cares about us. I think about this lady in your poem. Unfortunately, she seems to have a tender kind heart and sometimes it can be a big weakness cause at the end there are no returns from the one she loves. very well done my friend. 5/5, kel.

    Awww Ingrid you have piece up words so delicately depicting a very touchy poem. I can envision all the pain and suffering that the lady went through loving someone though the person vent out his enmity toward her. I love the twist at the end of it though he vents his anger at her deep in side he alwayz love her... absolutely a fantastic poem...i'm sure u'll win for this;)
