runaway

If you see me tomorrow 
Cross the street, or turn away
Walk past me like a stranger
Don’t ever call my name

Don’t come any closer
Please stay in my past
Where stories are fiction
And dreams are not build to last

Don’t tap at my window
Don’t knock on my door
That house is cold and empty now
I don’t live there anymore

I left when I saw the dark clouds
Long before the storm  came down 
And after it shattered all my windows
I was nowhere to be found 

Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of my face
When you find me in a crowd
But it’s not me, I am not there
I won’t be hanging around.

It’s only the ghost,
Of a girl you used to know
Someone  that never got her way, 
The one you left alone.

What a wonderful write. I loved the Rhyme you kept maintained in this poem right from the starting to the ending. I've already saved your this beautiful poem that's again written from the bottom of the heart with some depth of the words.

Really really well done and really well put together. I like!

Ist stanza's great and your middle portion's too nice reading and i liked this RUNWAY, you can add few more lines here if you want...anyway, it's a nice piece and beautifully penned indeed.100/100

Ah rejection, then the perhaps bitter "dont bother with me anymore attitude."

[annabellee]

I enjoyed reading your poem a lot. The last and the second stanza are my favourite ones.
Great write, looking forward to reading more of you :)

This ending could be interpreted two ways....did she only want what they had? OR did she want more. I'm curious.

Thanks for a good write though. This kept my attention.

Thank you.. interesting. I see how it could be both ways.
I personally think it's about the bitterness of rejection. She wanted more but couldn't get it from him. Her pride is telling him, never come near me again, it will be like we never met.

I guess I was kind of thinking that was the way it was after all.....but thanks for the explanation. I really like to know more and that helps me since I was wondering....thank you!
