Gone And Left Standing

by Monique Seidler   Apr 2, 2006


My best friend's gone,
she moved away.
I don't know how
to face each day.

I cannot just
forget the past.
The memories are there,
and they will last.

A part of me
is very sad.
A part of me
is truly mad.

It hurts so much
when people leave.
I feel I will always
be filled with grief.

I feel so lonely.
I don't know why.
I try realy hard
but I still cry.

I don't want people
to feel sorry for me.
I don't want anyone,
but I want to be free.

It's like I'm trapped
inside a room.
It gets smaller and smaller,
and drives me to doom.

We can write
I know that.
Somehow though, it's not the same
as when we used to chat.

Silence has been
thrown upon me.
I feel I'm deaf
and cannot see.

My eyes are glued
to the floor.
My stomach churns
and feels real sore.

I sure hope
the hurt will leave,
and dissolve like soap
into the sea.

How can I smile?
How can I laugh?
I feel I'm on trial.
I feel I'm in half.

Part of me is gone.
It may never return.
Like a flame,
it has began to burn.

Where can I go?
What can I do?
How can I live
without you?

    Effective ending, and the start sets the scene of the poem well. Two mistakes,

    I do't want anyone,

    Should be

    I don't want anyone,

    And

    I fell I'm on trial.

    Should be

    I feel I'm on trial.

    Hope this helps, its a shame to see good poetry wasted with petty mistakes :)

    Peace. [Sole]
