Abandoned

by firexdancer   Mar 15, 2007


I stand here in the headlights
looking all around
im too scared to scream
from where i stand here on the ground

the car starts moving away
i whisper my goodbyes
the lights staring straight ahead
blinding in my eyes

it speeds of into the distance
swerving to the side
i crouch here in the dirt
having nowhere left to hide

i reach out as if to touch them
the rain washing away my tears
but the only people i've ever known walk away
and leave me with my fears

i stand here in the darkness
it hurts to be so lonely
so hard to be abandoned
and the people walk around me

just an empty shell
i always knew i was alone
i never had a heart,
and i never had a home

    Well I think the ending could've come a lot more slower than it did. It just sort of stopped. Like when you're driving a car and you don't see a stop sign until the very last second and you slam on the brakes. I just thought you were trying to sum all of it up in too small of a stanza.

    The flow was good for the most part, minus a few lines that were a bit rocky.

    [it speeds {of} into the distance]
    ^^Correction: {off}

    It needs a bit of work, but I do think it's possible. Keep up the writing and you'll get it. =) 4/5 xoxo

    I reach out as if to touch them
    the rain washing away my tears
    but the only people i've ever known walk away
    and leave me with my fears

    The third stanza seemed a bit long and out of place in this poem.

    i stand here in the darkness
    it hurts to be so lonely
    so hard to be abandoned
    and the people walk around me

    lonely and me don't rhyme so again it broke it off a bit.

    I loved this poem except for minor hiccups so i award you a 4.5 for a very original, creative and sad piece.

    Thank you
