He's gone

[spudnik]

He's gone
The moon still shines and the stars still glow
but he doesn't know
maybe deep down
but regret fills the air as I quietly care
and avoid and neglect my true hearts desire
He'll never know and I'll never show
my heart and my longing to be his
He'll never know because I could never show my vulnerable side
but the flowers grow and the grass smells of a time long ago
when the sky was black and the air was cold
and he held my hand as the night grew old
and I knew deep down it was where I wanted to be
but I never could see what he wanted from me.
And now he his gone and I have but a song
a few words
a screaming soul that knows and grows throught the guidance of love.
Taking risks is how to be free but I will never see
so now I just sit and inside my love grows
the waiting hurts most
I will never know.

What I like (VERY MUCH) about it is the free-form way you deal with structure, short lines followed by longer ones, rhyming lines followed by ones that do not rhyme... Sadness is stubborn and resistant to structure!

[spudnik]

Thanks, I've never had words that rhyme flow so quickly from my heart to my pen. It was a really neat feeling when I read it over after I wrote it and realized how easily it flowed and how well it expressed my sadness and regret.

This is really beautiful and well written. it's sad, an inner struggle to show your love to some one.
