This Moment In Time (Then)

 

Missing you

With a depressed heart

Without you

Being torn apart

Kept in a straight jacket

And stripped of my name

You’re the only reason

I never went insane

 

We’re so far apart

I wish I could touch your face

I need to get out of here

This God forsaken place

I watch the snow fall

And wish you were here

We’ve been in love for so long

It’s been nearly a year

I’m lost without you

Holding onto your picture, I’ll never let go

 

But hush

Sweet angel…

Don’t you cry…

You knew one day

We’d have to say goodbye…

Look away from me

I’m a man without a cause

My purpose here is finished

I’ve corrected all the flaws

The city burning down

To be rebuilt another day

If you get lonely

All you need to do is say

“Take my hand…

And paint me gold…

Take me away where the sun always shines,

and only happy stories are told…

I’ll never leave your side

Inside you I will confide

I just can’t help holding on to this moment…”

 

This hasn’t been a totally happy journey

It’s had its rocks in the road

But as long as our hearts beat on

The journey will continue

Ending only with the whisper of the wind…

And these nights go by

I sit and I sigh

Just hoping that the love is still there

Wishing her safety

Missing my baby

Destroying life without a care

 

They don’t mean anything to me

No one but you understands

Life just seems meaningless lately

Nothing goes according to plan

 

I heard you tell me

“Somebody held me…

He held me against my will…”

I started to cry

I wanted him to die

Nobody knows how it feels

I should have been there

Life just is not fair

The innocent always feel pain…

 

I’ll be the one to save you

You helped me understand

With hope inside our hearts keep going

I’ll be with you when I can

Lost love is often the path to insanity (well, for me anyway) *giggles*. I enjoyed reading this. Some people cry after reading poems, because either they connect to something you wrote, or they're just really emotional :)

Either way, great job!

I've had that happen, where someone cried after reading my stuff. Maybe the stuff we come up with really happened to some people. Anyway, I like the part about the person being in a straight jacket and locked away. Insanity and lost love is so awesome.

Woah. . . I'm crying! You keep sweeping of my feet with your beautiful, and magnificent way of words.
The Heart of Everything; the heart of a lover, a lover who won't let go of another lover, one who keeps going strong; one who's lips have learned to love. Extraordinary, Shane. :)


In life we only have each other, and ones we choose to have, or we can choose to go it alone. But in are weak hearts memories, and our present give us delight, or sorrow, depending on the path you've choose. Love inspires some; and drives others. The beauty of it is; in life, we all want to be loved, and give it in return.

Beautiful poem Shane.

[dread or dismay.]

Shane!

That's a great poem...

The starting was really excellent, how you simply introduced the feeling to the poem...

'Missing you

And yay for being honest! :)

I'm kinda speachless here.
-sigh-
Yeah...
Good poem, Shane.

I read the lines:
"I heard you tell me

"Somebody held me,
He held me against my will."

I started to cry

I wanted him to die"
and I kind of figured who it was about...
This one made me cry too...
