A Poem

The rain is falling outside as it is in my heart tonight.
The memories of you and me together no longer shine so bright.
As we walk this road apart you vow there's no turning back.
My heart cries out to stop you but still your possesions away I pack.

I sit and reflect why you could never hold me tight,
And how I cried and was alone on so many a dreary night.
Your life is taking you down a long, dark road that I'm too scared to follow.
I'm tired of the pain of your empty stares that make me feel so hollow.

I long for sunshine and brighter days, a heart as light as a feather.
No more storms and heart breaks through which I have to weather.
Your rejection of me is a hard, cold pill to swallow.
But in self-pity, I no longer allow myself to wallow.
