Wide Eyed

by Andee   Dec 5, 2011


Two days past eighteen,
sitting in the booth, where you left me.
always wide eyed, never cried.
been alone all my life.

Been sitting here bout an hour,
I accepted your really gone.
Didn't want to face the world,
Though I knew the time would come.

I feared the stares and evil glares.
I never wanted to be the girl that didn't care.
they say I'm not good for there prized boy,
I'm just a nobody girl, living in a somebody's world.

    I love the "real-ness" and emotion in these two lines.

    Nice ending. :]

    I like how easily this can be related to. My favorite part is definitely:

    always wide eyed, never cried.
    been alone all my life.

    because I can relate to those so well, and they just seem really poetic in a down-to-earth kind of way.

    Great poem!

    Yes, this is a tender age, to love, to be loved, and heartbreaks can be really hard. But, then this is a learning process, for the greater good. So that one day the stronger person in you will emerge, be appreciated and truly loved for what you are, not pitied. Early life love's are just the first learning step to mature love, for with each disappointment will come a betterment, a resolve to be a stronger more lovable person, and not to lose again, until one can find a person who can truly appreciate the goodness in being loved, and give us back the samee. A touching sad write.

    This is a moving poem perhaps written as an eighteen year old girl would writ so focus on the emotional delivery that the bout's and your's are hardly noticed where the about's and you're,s should be. I also got the feeling that the "you" in this poem, in a world void of error, should have yet been with the lonely girl
