Tragic love story

by rebeccasarah   Jul 17, 2008


She loved him.
He wouldn't know it.
For never did she,
ever show it.

He loved her.
She couldn't tell.
It turned her life,
into a living hell.

She moved on..
Or so she tried.
He doesn't know,
Every night she cried.

But now he doesn't
Even care,
To love her again?
He wouldn't dare.

If only they had,
The courage to say,
They loved each other,
In every way.

Now theres a new girl,
In his heart.
Who came clean,
Right from the start.

So now her mistake,
To her, is clearer.
The man of her dreams,
Would have been with her.

He seems happy,
So she tries to pretend!
But faking her joy,
She doesn't recommend.

The smiles, the laughter.
Its all so wrong,
When it was his voice,
that was her favorite song.

Although he still wonders,
Late at night,
If he has the right girl,
To hug and hold tight.

He questions and ponders,
But he'd never confess.
For if she didn't love him,
His heart would be a mess.

They went separate paths,
They lost what could've been.
He'll never know the love he felt...
She also felt for him

Yes, some things in life
Are better not to know
but this rose sure would have been beautiful
If they stayed to watch it grow.

>> Thank you 'The Girl Inside' for the last two stanzas<<

    Oh my goddess, how can you say i have talent when you can write something like this.

    i thought your other poem was good but this one is breath takingly beautiful and so heart breakingly sad yet sweet. ah, i wanna cry partly cuz i've seen this happen to me, except well i knew what he felt but i was to scred to go for it.

    i love how you make the rhyme work, your read without realising it rhymes which is of course the art of a true poet.

    i was really struck by the last stanza because of the regret you protray in it even though it not from either of their perspectives. so well done on that.

    i look forward to reading more of your work so keep it up. and i really hope all these sad poems are not from experiance or if they are that they are past experiance you have not gotten over. here if you ever need a stragers ear/advice. 5/5
