Alone.

by Megann Lee   Sep 22, 2007


You've loved me once, you've loved me twice.
I don't want to give it to you, don't want to try.
You don't deserve three, you didn't deserve two.
I hide behind a smile, hide behind perfect eyes.

The days slowly fade into night, empty and cold.
I tell myself it's not OK to cry, not over you.
I lecture myself the minute I wish you were here.
It's over and I can't take you back, not this time.

I pass by you day in and day out it still hurts.
I walk like I'm a zombie, never replying to you.
You call and I ignore you, like you don't exist.
I've never been so in love, to the point it hurts.

You had your two chances, yet you made mistakes.
You won't get a third so I'm not the only one you hurt.
I'm glad to know that you are slowly dying with me.
This time, I'm really not as alone as I thought I was.

    This is a fantastic sad piece. I like it even better than the other poem I read. Anyway, your word choice is great, and the emotions are conveyed very well. Enough said. It deserves 5/5.

    Aweh, I love this. The wording really allowed for the emotion to shine through and really pull the reader into what it was you were trying to get across. You made this so personal, but yet, since you didn`t use any direct names or places, it helps the reader put themselves there and relate to it; a VERY good thing to find in poetry. The only thing that I found was the ending should have had more of a kick to it, the whole poem was very strong, so the ending could have been a little bit stronger.

    Such a beautifully sad piece, I'm definitly going to keep an eye out on your work. You express emotions so deeply into your poems that it latches onto the heart and makes the reader feel what you are. This was definitly a great read worthy of a 5/5 in my eye. Keep on writing and i'll keep on reading. ~Mel
