The Search Is Over

Survivor

How can I convince you what you see is real

Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel

I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew

I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream,

Loving for a moment

Taking on the world,

That was just my style

Now I look into your eyes

I can see forever,

The search is over

You were with me all the while

Can we last forever, will we fall apart

At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart

You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait

Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate

I was living for a dream,

Loving for a moment

Taking on the world,

That was just my style

Now I look into your eyes

I can see forever,

The search is over

You were with me all the while

Now…

from the song, here is my poem:

There were many times                                     

I keep asking myself

Is it really worth it,

the love I have for you?

 

How can I say to myself

what I feel for you

is real and powerful?

Never thought I could love like this.

 

From the start,

It was so easy to love you,

every trait that I want in a man.

I found in YOU.

 

Friendship has been one

strong foundation

to know all about you,

but I always set you aside.

 

Why?

because of him,

because of loving him strongly,

because of this uncontrollable emotion.

 

I have always thought

you were just a dream,

one day when I wake up,

everything will be gone.

 

God knows,

the search has been over

but I turned a blind eye,

a deaf ear

and an empty heart.

 

Now,

It is too late

to admit,

that you have captured my heart.

Don't know this musical group or the song, but thank you for including the lyrics so we can find the parallels you followed when writing your poem. I am happy to say that your poem is not a bit like the song, other than the general point shared by both. I like the way your poem tells a story with a bit of elusive writing in stanza 5 (who is this other "he"?) and the finality of the ending -- when it's too late & we're just too slow to see it. It's happened to me many times over the years! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Survivor is one of my top 5 bands of all time so that your poem is inspired by one their songs is a great start... But I must say your poem stands on its own... Really great writing...
Sometimes we overlook what is right before our eyes until it is too late.

[sette]

totally true, i intend to write a poem about the song ever since the world begun if my muse is already on its way..lol thanks for appreciating.
