"Once Upon A Boy"
could have used him as a toy,
but I let him slip away.
Like the old man and the sea,
I set the fish free,
so I could come back another day.
And the "Muted Memories,"
of that one day, especially,
I put flowers into my pocket.
I did not know the pain
along with the good would remain
inside my mind if I locked it.
But It's true I'm "Missing You"
left breathless feeling blue.
I miss your fingers running through my hair.
Your laughter in the hall.
I swear I miss it all.
I simply wish you were here.
"All I Ever Did Was Love You"
and look what I've gone through.
I know God said we would make mistakes.
I still want you to know
I wanted, but couldn't go.
Why does it hurt when your heart breaks?
Is this "Dead Love" or will you respond?
Do we still carry that bond?
Or have we gone our separate ways?
No forgetting the love we shared
or the things together we dared
your memory is with me through the days.
Because I "Thought You Were The One"
now I'm wondering what I'd done,
to turn you into someone I hate.
You made me hide my heart
because you tore it apart
so I'm leaving before it's too late.
You were my "First Love" it's true.
I was young and knew not what to do,
but you put me through some pain.
Now the girl Helen is gone,
as Dovie has come along
and I find myself in love again.
You were "The Only Fish In The Sea"
that wasn't interested in me
and I couldn't get you to bite.
The worm on my hook would wiggle
as the little boy would giggle,
but something here was not right.
The decisions that were made
made me think "Could This Be, Bade!!!"
looking into your green eyes and blonde hair.
I gave you a name
and as for mine, it's the same
I'm still waiting for you to be here.
We're two people striving for happiness.
Waves crashing on shore make a mess
"Lost Love" is like sand castles.
The waves wash them away
clouds cover the blue day.
What was love became many hassles.
In the end it all comes down
not just what's been spread around,
but more by words "Unspoken."
You couldn't give me a second chance.
Afraid of how the neighbors glance
and the marriage that would be broken.
Only one thing in the end can be,
the one that is the best to me.
It shows us the way to get through.
But the ship has run aground,
and your no where to be found,
"All I Ever Did Was Love You."
This is a poem written to thank all that entered my contest. Your entries were all wonderful and all should win, but only one can. Today I chose the one that struck me the hardest when I read it. Can you tell which one I picked?
