Reminiscence

The tears have dried up now,

But my heart is still heavy.

I think of the past, when

Life seemed so easy.

How I long for those years now,

When we were young and carefree;

When all problems and fights revolved

Around stolen dolls and learning ABC.

When did life stop being so easy?

When did we stop laughing all day?

When did we start caring so much

About what others have to say?

I sit and ponder over these thoughts,

I know not what to do.

How do I learn to live again,

And start everything anew?

The only thing that keeps me going

Is the promise of hope in the air.

All I have to do is move on now,

And try not to care...

Falling Apart

Okay, this is a recent poem I came up with. Actually, it's more of a song, and it's from a guy's perspective. I actually wrote this for a story, but I decided to put it up here as well, as another poem of mine.

Baby, I know I was the one who left you,
But that didn't mean I stopped loving you too.
Girl, all I needed was a little time,
Tell me, was that such a terrible crime?
But baby, you had to go and break my heart,
And now I'm completely falling apart.
Why do you do this to me?
Why can't you just let me be?

You made a promise to me, your face aglow,
That you would never leave me, never let go.
I thought we'd have a future to look to,
And maybe one day we'd be saying, "I do."
But baby, you went and broke my heart,
And now I'm completely falling apart.
Why do you do this to me?
Why can't you just let me be?

What went wrong? What did we miss?
How did it all come down to this?
Now comes the hard part, where I move on,
Breaking what we had, our beautiful bond.
Oh baby, why did you go and break my heart?
Don't you see how completely I'm falling apart?
