MY PRIZE Date: Sunday, 1st September 2002 @ 05:31:04 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Robert_Edgar_Burns I met you as our youth group stood Underneath a clear night sky. I was looking up at stars. You were looking in my eyes. We were both there quite unaware, Of much about each other. You had a crush on someone else. And I too loved another. But we were paired together, And talked the whole night through. We took a walk and laughed a lot. It was then I fell for you! The guy that you were longing for, Was there with another girl. The girl that I was chasing, Wasn’t happy in my world. But they were soon forgotten. And, as I looked into your eyes, The stars were not as pretty, As the girl who became my Prize! robertburns2@mac.com Homepage.mac.com/RobertBurns2 This poem is Copyright © Robert_Edgar_Burns Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
