Something Beautiful Just Died

Something beautiful just died

as I stood by

and watched I cried

 

Was I right

or was I wrong

should I have let it go on

to see where maybe it would have gone

 

Would it have brought joy

or would it have brought pain

shall we try again

are you lonesome tonight

do you wonder if we were wrong or right

 

Do you wonder

what it would be like

if we were together tonight

do you still love me

I know that you do

and you know that I love you too

 

I could picture you by my side

as we traveled through time

holding hands,laughing,talking,making plans

 

But now it`s all gone,gone away

I wonder if it will come back another day

probably not but who can tell

 

And when it left it didn't say goodbye

it broke my heart ,it made me cry

should I come back shall we try again

or just say our goodbyes

and let it end...

A really well written poem. I love the simplicity in this one. .The way you started it was really good. .
"Something beautiful just died
as I stood by
and watched I cried". These lines pulled on my heartstrings. .. very emotional. .
The most difficult thing in life is to learn which bridge to cross and which to burn. Yes, there will be a lot of "if onlys" and "what ifs" at the end of the day. But nothing can be done about them. . We all will have regrets. . We have to accept life as it is. . Yes, the past will haunt us. But we will have to try to leave bad memories behind. .

"do you still love me
I know that you do
and you know that I love you too" - love doesn't fade away. . It stays back .. stinging our hearts. It creates these beautiful dreams of "one day we will be together" .. It gives us hope. .. hope that drives us forward. .

A really good write :)

hey lost mind I really appreciate your visit,thank`s

[Jimmy Yetts]

This piece struck me as being a melancholic bemoaning of lost love, regretful consideration of what might have been and a fading hope that love's dying ember might, somehow, re-ignite.
A heartfelt, well-expressed poem, W.

Are you a fan of "Eddie and The Cruisers?"

[wordman]

I thank you for the visit,and I loved eddie and the cruisers, that's where I stole my name

[Jimmy Yetts]

Thought so.
Don't consider that theft; view it as an homage.
Great little movie!

You are welcome

We can let the doubt eat away at us, or we can accept loss, pick up the pieces, and move on... yes it hurts.. yes we mourn what we had.. what we thought would be... but I have learned that Ex's are Ex's for a reason.. only reason to revisit is to learn from the mistakes and realize the lessons that are hidden among the rubble and ash... I could feel the heartache in this one.. well done...
