Walk Away

by Tammie   Oct 31, 2007


Somewhere between the hello's and goodbyes
Those things you should've said disappeared.
Forgetting friendly handshakes or affectionate kisses,
I've been overcome by an emotion my heart misses.

Lonely are the nights I sleep in this cold bed without you.
With the last words you said left imprinted in my memory,
Holding such grace standing there alone, waiting,
Waiting for another word to follow, but slowly debating.

What happens when endings catch up with beginnings?
And the story in-between becomes more irrelevant?
Tossing aside the pieces that kept us together
Wearing away, I'm at the end of my tether.

Black ink fills this page with words you would never say
Your lack of expression caused me to lose all feeling
Numb to the very thought of you holding my hand,
Let alone telling me you love me or that you even understand.

So walk away now, with your head hung low in shame.
You never could find words for anything, so don't start now.
Forgotten are the good memories, washed away by the bad,
This time though, I've realised it's not worth being sad.

    Not to critique those that came before me, but dont you, the writer, find it annoying when a commenter repeats lines over and overwhen a commenter repeats lines over and overwhen a commenter repeats lines over and overwhen a commenter repeats lines over and overwhen a commenter repeats lines over and overwhen a commenter repeats lines over and over just to add to the text of their comment in the hope that you'll return the favor? i find it incredibly tastelss, and would encourage yuo to take on my mindset...wow, i sound so preachy. now, as for the poem, i thouroughly enjoyed it. it left me with a little glowing feeling that just wont quit! thanks!

    I really enjoyed reading this piece, I thought the word choice, imagery and flow were all excellent throught. It's funny how in a relationship people who we thought we knew usually turnout to be a stranger in the end. Sometimes it's just not worth getting a broken heart over, but it's easier said then done. Great job 5/5 GG23

    Man, Tammie. :/ I didnt like the rhyme scheme.

    But I did like the first two lines, the moral, and the vocabulary. You did an ACE job on all of that. But next time.. Try I wouldnt suggest rhyming the last two lines and not the first. It throws everything off.

    Much love, Suitcase.
