PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Though you'll never read this,

I still felt compelled to let my thoughts free.

I couldn't keep this inside myself.

I couldn't just leave this be.



I never knew all of you,

and never thought twice

that after you left

I would have to pay this price.



You left me to realize

that I knew near nothing about you.

I didn't know the person deep inside,

The person that no one knew.



Now that you've left me,

and I've thought about it for a while,

I know more than ever,

the mystery behind your smile.



You left me to think

you were the person I took you for.

When all along,

you were so much more.



All this time, I felt I loved a person

that posed no danger.

But the truth is,

I felt love for a stranger.



I feel so horrible

for not taking the time

to get to know you better.

My heart regrets this crime.



Oh, how I wish I could try

to get to know you again.

Things would be so different

from what they were back then.



I want so badly to ask the questions

that never before entered my mind;

and perhaps I would finally then

have the answers that I now wish to find.



Oh, God! Please come back to me!

Don't leave me like this!

Don't leave me knowing

that I'll never know the person I now miss!



Come down from Heaven

and tell me your name once more.

Let's start over.

Let things be better than before.



I can't take this pain,

this guilt, this shame.

I must know who you are.

So, once more, tell me your name.
