When im not with you

by rachael   Jan 6, 2005


When I'm not with you
i am alone
for there is no one else
and there is nothing
that comforts me but you
when you are gone
suddenly i am sick
blackness is round me
there is nothing left
i have tried many things
music and cities,
stars in their constellations
and the sea
but there is nothing
that comforts me but you
and my poor pride bows down
like grass in a rain storm
drenched with my longing
the night is no one
there is nothing
to comfort me but you

please comment love to hear from you

    This poem is not written by Rachael...it was written by the famous poet Sara Teasdale and only changed a bit at the end. WTF??? Is this a forum for plagiarized poetry??

    When I am not with you
    I am alone,
    For there is no one else
    And there is nothing
    That comforts me but you.
    When you are gone
    Suddenly I am sick,
    Blackness is round me,
    There is nothing left.
    I have tried many things,
    Music and cities,
    Stars in their constellations
    And the sea,
    But there is nothing
    That comforts me but you;
    And my poor pride bows down
    Like grass in a rain-storm
    Drenched with my longing.
    The night is unbearable,
    Oh let me go to you
    For there is no one,
    There is nothing
    To comfort me but you.

    Sara Teasdale
