When i loved her i loved a lie
as i kissed her i closed one eye
and when i held her i thought i'd die
so in our hearts we said good-bye
and as she looked at me sincere
she saw me down kneeling a prayer
from the tree that we both share
she turned around and left me there
and as she left she looked at he
in his ear she whispered to me
that in her sky we can't be
so now and forever she'll fly free
and when i wanted for her to show
her dreams, her smile and this i know
when her rose just would not grow
the beauty was gone so now she'll go
but in my heart i know i tried
when she left i stopped and cried
and in the dark is where i'll hide
because i loved her deep inside
and now i feel that i must say
that in time i'll find my way
and in my heart i'll have to pray
i'll see my light again someday
and in my mind i wish i grew
but there was nothing that i could do
so as she left, i left her too
goodbye my love and i'll miss you
yet in my soul there'll be a place
next to the memories of her face
with the touch of our embrace
like withered roses in a vase
and while i think and wonder why
why she left and went to fly
in one breath and with a sigh
i raise my hand and wave goodbye
THIS IS SO AWESOME WILLIAM. HOW CREATIVE!!!! You have beautiful talent. You critiqued one of my poems a long time ago so I thought I would follow your link and read some of your latest stuff. I just happened to click on this one first. It is beautiful. I wish my talent were similar but I'm not that creative, just observant.
Once again, bravo!!
