A story free of pain and addiction
I’ll sit here and listen while you talk
Thinking of all the paths that I’ve walked

You tell me stories of a girl that is lost
Searching to find herself at all costs
She cannot love like she has before
Thoughts of new love only hurt her more

All she was doing was trying to forget
All her past loves and all her regrets
Pushing away all that she had known
Thinking about how his love had grown

She burst into tears whenever she heard his voice
She knew she needed to make a choice
Between true love with her soul mate
Or being alone and tempting fate

She finally broke down and chose the latter
Because she thought it did not matter
“The road I’m on may be dark and long,
but in the end, I’ll be rich and strong.”

She wanted him still to be at her side,
Through darker times to light and guide.
The pain she caused him had been too much,
She pushed him away, and so as such

He moved on to another part of his life
Seven years later he met his wife
Past memories he put behind
But thoughts of the girl still filled his mind

Picked up the bottle, tried to drink her away
In hopes of forgetting her someday
For him that day, it never came
He died alone; she drove him insane.

But for her however, her heart had changed
She finally got her thoughts arranged
She felt his love was all that she had
Life without him was driving her mad

She finally went out to find him again
But all she found was tremendous pain
After searching throughout all the land
She found he had died, bottle in hand.

She knew he had loved her for all of those years
She started to cry millions of tears
She lived alone the rest of her days…
So that’s my story, “What do ya say?”

I tightly clenched my jaw and blinked through the tears
“That’s the worst story I’ve heard in years,
All I wanted was action and glory!”
You smiled and said “But this is our story…”

I held you close and softly kissed your lips,
And felt your skin with my fingertips,
Holding you, remembering our past
Soaring through heaven, together at last… [comments] => 5 [counter] => 242 [topic] => 22 [informant] => Graham [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
A story of pain and addiction

Tell me a story of love and conviction
A story free of pain and addiction
I’ll sit here and listen while you talk
Thinking of all the paths that I’ve walked

You tell me stories of a girl that is lost
Searching to find herself at all costs
She cannot love like she has before
Thoughts of new love only hurt her more

All she was doing was trying to forget
All her past loves and all her regrets
Pushing away all that she had known
Thinking about how his love had grown

She burst into tears whenever she heard his voice
She knew she needed to make a choice
Between true love with her soul mate
Or being alone and tempting fate

She finally broke down and chose the latter
Because she thought it did not matter
“The road I’m on may be dark and long,
but in the end, I’ll be rich and strong.”

She wanted him still to be at her side,
Through darker times to light and guide.
The pain she caused him had been too much,
She pushed him away, and so as such

He moved on to another part of his life
Seven years later he met his wife
Past memories he put behind
But thoughts of the girl still filled his mind

Picked up the bottle, tried to drink her away
In hopes of forgetting her someday

Well, Graham. I made my first submissions today also and like you, I would enjoy critiques. You have chosen to tell a story in first person form and have a used a very strict pattern of rhyme. Good for you for sticking with the scheme. Changes I would make: rather than throughout use through, also rather than"I'll be rich and strong" how about, "I will be rich! I will be strong!" This adds same drama and contractions tend to take away from reading aloud. Good luck and keep writing. Hautebush
