The water drops from the hole in the roof
Caught by the bucket beneath
The rain outside comes falling down
The tears inside come pouring out
Once again I am trapped by the time we had
The years that passed too quickly
The years that ended to soon
The years that were us
I would give the world to have you back
To have you in my life today
More than a vague memory that still causes me pain
More than the loneliness that I am now
I piece together the moments that still remain to me
Trying to find solace in my misery
Trying to find where I went wrong
And lost the person that I was
You made me smile for most the time
You gave me reason to walk through life
You gave me hope for the future
And you gave me my son
And now you have taken all of that away from me
Chased away by your own insecurities
Pushed away by my ignorance
Sprung from the trap and set free
I love you still after all this time
Even though you continue to bring me pain
Even though you cease to be a part of my life
Even though I feel numb
Of times I sit and wonder what it would be like
If you were still in my life today
If you hadn’t run away when things turned bad
If I had of kept you here
But no, no sense crying over a broken heart
For I stand alone and that is who I am
I may wish the grace of love upon my life
But it has come and I have shunned it
wow!!! i REALLY love the way you express emotions in this poem. All i can say is wow really! its such a good way to show that particular situation, and the ending is really brilliant. It made me feel in touch with what you was really trying to say to your audience and it feels like a really original poem. I think the only way to improve it would really be to kind of hide the emotional words a bit more to give your reader extra work in trying to figure out what certain parts mean, but like iv said, VERY good poem xx
