If Only I Never Knew You

by Beautiful Chaos   Sep 15, 2008


If our hearts were but two strangers
Maybe I'd feel whole
Never having known your touch
Or looked inside your soul

If our eyes had never met
No spark had lit the fire
I would not be burning now
Lost within this pyre

If our stars had never crossed
Our dreams had never met
You'd be another in the crowd
My mind could just forget

Instead I sit here desolate
Reliving every day
People asking what is wrong
Not knowing what to say

My heart is cold, my soul it burns
I loved so now I've lost
Sometimes it's hard to figure out
If all is worth the cost

    Beautiful stanza, really well written and this just stuck out to me. The truth and wiseness of your words in this poem touched me, and your thoughts really poured out into this poem. Your word choice and rhyming was very interesting and kept me reading. Good work, 5/5 from me. Keep writing, always and forever...

    This is really nicee..the title was captivating too, sometimes the title is more important than the poem because it's the reason people are inspired to write !
    lovely poem, I felt those words and all the if onlies here were so touchy !

    Instead I sit here desolate
    Reliving every day
    People asking what is wrong
    Not knowing what to say
    I think the rhyme here went a bit off, last line could've been better, even though its still good :)

    Sometimes it's hard to figure out
    If all is worth the cost
    this could be an interesting quotation here, very wise and I do agree with all of this.

    well-done hunnie, I think you're going to be a great poetess when you grow old :]
    write on
