One of my songs called "stars"
They always doubt,
what makes you true,
but never forget,
what you did to find you,
and as you look down on me,
you're by my side,
I'll never forget,
please take me for a ride
I look up at the stars and I speak my mind,
even if I run out of time,
for you,
for you,
lets make it real
and I couldn't explain,
if I died in vain,
memorized by your lies,
and taking everyone by suprise,
but I'm here,
never going away,
please stay,
one more day,
for me,
for me.
Forgive my second intrusion . . .
Are you familiar with Leonard Cohen's song, "Alexandra Leaving." which, itself, is based on Cavafy's major poem, "The God Abandons Antony" ?

Hello!
Thank you for the kind comment! I appreciate it. I just looked "Alexandra Leaving." up and loved it!
Hello back
Great! Glad to hear that. In an odd way I cannot explain, I enjoy it too, even though it precisely describes the most agonizing (and, unfortunately, most recent) break-up I have ever experienced. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion . . . check out Cavafy's poem, "The God Abandons Antony," which was Cohen's inspiration for "Alexandra Leaving."

Sorry to hear
I too have experinced a horriable break up recently. I guess all you can do is move on, easier said than done, I know. I also looked Cavafy's poem and I really enjoyed it. Constructed very well.
Quite moving
This poem speaks with profound emotion. I have recently experienced something of the same---the anguished end of a romance that was both unexpected and all too short. It has been fifty=eight days, and the pain is still present, although not as immediate.
Your poem is beautiful.
