If I ever leave you
in this world all by yourself
I hope that you will read this poem
I kept high on a shelf

If I can never touch your face
or hear your lovely voice
I hope your path is always filled
with happiness and joy

I tried so hard to find the words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How much I always cared for you
in everything you did
I wish I told you more of all
the feelings that I hid

I’m sorry for the times I ever
caused you to be stressed
With all the love I felt from you
I know that I was blessed

I hope you know the problems
that we had were all my own
I’m sorry living with me
made you sometimes feel alone

I want for you to know that
when you need me I’ll be there
It doesn’t matter if you’re happy
or if you are your scared

Just know that I am holding you
whenever you have fear
And that I’ll always be there
every time you cry a tear

I wish I could have bottled up
your laughter in a vial
I’d pour it out into the wind
and make the whole world smile

I wish that I could find the color
trapped within your eyes
I’d toss it up into the air
and paint a whole new sky

I wish I would have captured your
illuminating glow
The effervescence of your smile
could lift those feeling low

I hope that you can find someone
who makes your spirit free
I hope that they take care of you
And love you just like me

Just know each time you stop to hold
And smell a pretty rose
That I may just be getting close
So I can kiss your nose

And when you see the clouds above
release their saddened tears
It’s just that I am missing you
and wishing you were near

I tried to find some special words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How truly I adore and worship
everything you do
If I could only find the words,
I’d give them all to you

You know, it has occurred to me that you must be a chick magnet with the way your write. What women wouldn't swone over words like:

"I'm sorry for the times I ever
caused you to be stressed
With all the love I felt from you
I know that I was blessed"

and

"Just know each time you stop to hold
And smell a pretty rose
That I may just be getting close
So I can kiss your nose"

The words every woman wants to hear, but never seems to.

Love this as always. Into my library you go little poem.

[Scytheriax]

Agreed with Lily1111!
Definitely love this poem. The diction is wonderful and you perfectly capture the emotion of the piece.
Very well-written.

[Magdelena]

Well I could go on and on telling you of how magnificent this was. I also can say how beautiful your words touched the page and made many a woman sigh as each word became absorbed inside their thoughts, but... It looks like there were dozens already here saying all that. So I will add one more thing to this amazing piece..

BRILLIANTLY DONE!!!!!

Awwwww this is absolutely beautiful Antonio! Breath-taking words you have shared from the depths of your heart & soul! To whom you have written this piece too I hope she knows how blessed she is for your words of love & admiration is felt by all the readers who enjoy this creation of yours! Kudos on this piece hun! Your words flow so angelic like!

[Sleeping Maiden]

Wow! This is absolutely amazing. I love your poem. I felt the love in this piece..
It's sad yet a sense of peace fills around the words too. Stunning! I enjoyed this very much. =D

[Priscilla Sayers]

Absolutely beautiful, innocence, captured so well, so simply.
I can't get enough of your words and I am trying to read through all that I can. You are the kind of writer that makes me have to sit back and absorb. Absorb the power in your words, that reveals your spirit. Once again, you have me.

all I can say is that she must be an amazing woman to elicit those setiments. that was a purley beautiful write.

[Dreamer<3]

This is so amazing. You have a way with words and making them go good together without talking weird. I love this!

[Karina Longo]

it has a bit of a lyrical feeling, me thinks. I like how you repeat the stanza which begins with 'I tried to find some special words' - it's the key to connect with your poem and feel the whole flow.
I really like it! Generally I find a bit 'dangerous' to write a poem that rhymes from the beginning to the very end but then again, art is art and it has no rules - you do it exceptionally well.
Delicate, beautiful, and most importantly, it touches me. :)

[poetic soul]

I’m sorry living with me
made you sometimes feel alone

this is amazing!!! i have felt it...alone even when my guy is around!!!! wish he would ever realize it!!! :( could relate my story with this and wish my guy realized a few things of these, before we take separate ways...

[Ladysue]
