Array ( [sid] => 4475 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I'M NOT THE FIRST! [time] => 2002-09-30 20:30:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => From you I’ve no secrets.
I have nothing to hide.
My desire is forever
To be right by your side.

You know how I suffer
When you’re not here with me.
So you promise that you will
Stay in contact with me.

I drop what I’m doing,
Just to rush to your aid.
Your needs and desires,
Are priorities I’ve made.

But you promise to call me
And then never do,
Unless you need something,
Or I come to you.

But I’m not worth the effort,
It’s clear to me now.
Even though I try to reach you,
I never quite have learned how.

The excuses are so many.
Each day a new one given.
I must read between the lines,
And attempt to go on living.

My hopes were all in you.
You saved me from a certain death.
But I know for sure right now,
You’d just as soon that I had left.

I’m not the first fool who ever lived.
I’m not the first man to shed a tear.
I’m not the first to believe a lie.
But I have always been sincere.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
