Untitled

(The poem is not untitled. The title is untitled, get it?)

Suddenly I saw him, there he stood

He hadn't changed much, he looked good

I thought of the time when we were together

All that had happened didn't seem to matter

He was so kind, he was so sweet

I didn't want to see him, I didn't want to meet

But still we did and no one said a word

It was so quiet nothing could be heard

He didn't even look, he just stood there

There in the dark, he didn't even care

Suddenly it became bright and all his friends were there

But where was I? I was nowhere

When we were together I was in the spotlight

But now I stood in the dark, in no ones sight

I felt so alone, I felt so bad

He had forgotten me and it made me so mad

They were dancing there so far away

And that's how it would stay

He will always be in the brightness far away

And I will move further into the darkness every day

Shadows

Shadows hanging over thee

Crying like a weeping willow tree

Words of sadness on a blank sheet

Tears of time until we meet

Yearnings growing, getting stronger

Each day goes by it seems longer

Answered prayers give thy faith

Will time this once stand still and wait

Hopes of joy, looks of sadness

Thinking of thoughts that bring thy gladness

Stars above and grass below

Lying awake with what thy knows

Brown bright eyes that look upon

The place where thy does not belong

Silent grows thine cry for help

Hiding in thy little shell

Wishing for what thy can not get

Desires of what they will not let

Feelings that keep summing up

So high till thy can not reach the top

Sounds of laughter so far away

Dreaming of that one special day

Talking to a brick stone wall

Mind so big, made so small

Little precious kept out to steal

Wounded feelings that just won't heal

Hurt by strangers that call themselves friends

Thy broken heart, thy can not mend

Kisses of disseat, swears of love

Fly around thy heart and head above

Confused mind and loving soul

Feel the pain of what one stole

Soft pillow of grass and blanket of stars

So close by and yet so far

It gets dark and it gets bright

What you seek stays out of sight

Shadows hanging over thee

Why won't thy make place for brightness to see

What lies down here waiting for the day

When finally will find thy own way
