Subject: Still I Stay Author: Kylie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:08:11 07/22/03 Tue This is a poem that I wrote for a guy I liked. Turns out he's a jerk, but the poem's nice, doncha think? I actually cried when I wrote it! Anyway, I would appreciate feedback. I hope y'all at least semi-understand it! Still I Stay My heart pounded in my ears My breath froze as mist on the air All I could do was stand there My heart was all I could hear I was as a statue in the park Frightened, stilled My heart killed My mind dark And still I waited for you Though I knew you would not show I would not go I was at a loss for what to do Snow started to fall Settling on my eyelashes Kissing my self-inflicted scratches I dropped to my knees, and, as a young child, bawled All the other girls began to wander away Chatters of dissappointment on the breeze Soon they were gone, and the empty sky a quiet sea But still I stayed My tears frozen on my cheeks There was nothing left to cry for I picked up my shattered heart; it could not break anymore I stood and turned in the direction of home; That's when I heard you speak I stopped and closed my eyes knowing this was a dream But that stilling voice was so real, it seemed You came and put your arms around me and asked me why I Cried I didn't reply Just began to sob again Oh, how long it had been And your voice still made me cry I never thought about why I fell in love with a man I'd never met I hadn't seen your eyes yet And your voice still made me cry I didn't like the thought of being alone Everyone has someone to love All I had was my dead dream If only you could have known I tried to hold on to your hand But you were fading away You pressed your imaginary lips to mine, in a kiss You were gone on a storm I fell to rest my cheek on the pavement in final bliss I closed my eyes, slipped into an everlasting sleep and STILL I STAYED [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
