Too Soon

by Melissa S. Masucci   Jul 15, 2006


I had to give you back today.
With many words left unspoken,
there was so much more to say.

Filled with the rage of a burning flame,
I found no comfort in your eyes,
only looked to you to place blame.

Then with the swiftness of a sudden storm,
I watched the anger subside in me,
and I was overcome with calm.

Discovering some pictures of good times we had,
I remembered out loud,
feeling both happy and sad.

I had to give you back today.
I was thankful for the time
that you were given to stay.

[Very old poem from Jr. High that I recently attempted to rewrite. I know it's not very good, I more post it here as an example of my older writing than expecting any good remarks on it.]

    Although quite simplistic in language and style it is a lovely bittersweet piece. Particularly liked the final stanza - so poignant.

    Not bad. You're right, it isn't your best, but it is older you say and we all grow with time and so does our abilities.
