Then and Now

by Kayla   Sep 13, 2006


My eyes then
A deep sea of passion
Now my eyes remain
Lost in seas of tears

My hair then
Locks of sweet golden care
Now my hair remains
Nothing more than strands of brown

My lips then
Tender sounds of affection
Now my lips remain
Sealed doors locking in unspoken words

My laugh then
A lift out of your darkest days
Now my laugh remains
My heart's greatest disguise

Thoughts of you then
A lightened path leading deep within my heart
Now thoughts of you remain
A dimmed, deserted path leading deep within emptied spaces.

    Hey your poem is wonderful. thank you for the comment on my thing about shorty. i kno how you feel. it has been about a month for us too and i also still go to bed thinking about him. i also notice that i will lay down around 10 and then just think about him. then ill look at the clock and it will be almost one in the morning. i think its crazy that i feel this way still even after all the pain he has continued to put me through. i mean i tell him that i still love him and that i miss him alot but he doesent seem to care not one little bit. i even have a new boyfriend and i just feel bad because everytime i look at him i picture shortys face. and i feel horrible because he tells me he loves me and i say it back but im not really saying it to him. im picturing shorty and after i say it i realize what i just said and i feel relle bad. well i guess ill talk to you later. if you want to email me my email is. babi_gurl_92@yahoo.com

    I really like how ur poem is short, yet it tells so much. i think this poem is universal and can adequately describe how so many people feel when their hearts are broken. really good writing.
    i only saw that there is a mistake in the line "Nothing more than than strands of brown"
    u see, the word 'than' is repeated.
