The World Fell And You Weren't There

by *Charisma*   Apr 27, 2007


The walls were caving in around me
While pillars in my heart did fall
I screamed out for you to catch me
No response came to my call

When the oceans overtook me
I was gasping for each single breath
I reached up for your hand
It wasn't there while I faced death.

I spent nights crying endlessly
Praying that I'd see you the next day.
I showed up but you never did
Keeping up with your no-show ways.

Then came the final straw in my life
An accident you couldn't see coming.
In a hospital bed I had to lay
But you never did come running.

It was then I knew for sure
You didn't love me, you didn't care.
Time after time of heartache,
The world fell and you weren't there.

    I really liked this,
    I liked the screen name when I first seen it,
    and this poem is amazing, I must say.
    You described everything so well without going off track
    and kept to the same story,
    the ending wrapped it up perfectly.
    All in all, great write.
