I put my wet feet on the cold bathroom floor The steam from the shower hides my way to the door I start walking up the stairs to my room When I realize there is something I forgot to do As I begin to relive my life since last night I come to a place where I forgot to say good-bye I cannot believe it slipped my mind I must have been too tired or too blind It is not like I wanted to see you go It is just that I know that you will not come home You are off to war in your uniform I will not be seeing your face anymore I meant to tell you that I love you so But like I said before, I did not want you to go To say all those words would be too final I did not want to leave you while I was crying So as I finish my way up the stairs I grabe a comb to brush my hair I will now be moving on Since I am here and you are gone

powerful, emotional, and heartwrenching write. but the choice to move on is a hard one to make, and the fact you were able shows strength and logic.

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. ©
