WerXand-XV 34 Posted January 31, 2012 This is a poem that I had to write for my American Lit. class, it's kinda grown on me and I thought I'd put it up here. Normally I can't write a poem without sounding like I'm depressed(I also hate the title, maybe I'll change it at some point) this poem is no exception, but I like it a lot and I hope you do too Come my friend, as I spin a tale, Of my loss which I shall detail. For you, I've found, I can confide, This deep dark story that I hide. Very quiet, very shy, Yet somehow I had caught her eye. Never was anything special about me, I'm rather plain as you can see. I was a shadow overlapped by darkness, She was the light that cast me, I only wanted for her to be happy. She saw in me what I could not see, She saw in me what I did not believe. I knew however, in my heart, That I did not fit this part. Also at the price of a hollowed soul, I left her, leaving me cold as coal. She was the light that cast me from darkness, Yet a shadow I remain to be, Only wishing for her to live happily 2 Static15 and Always reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorage55 10 Posted February 1, 2012 Interesting, its easy to not sound negative in the poem, simply find a lighter topic, so light that it shines out any negativity from it. Good poem though, your rhymes remind me of mine own in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
