Don't

  Don't

  Don't look for me
   for I'll be gone
  Though where
   I do not know
  Don't look for me
   for I'll be gone
  Forgetting...
   I love you so

       This place..
         I have no meaning
       This place..
         I don't belong
       This place I hear the music
         but the song is not my song

  Don't look for me
   for I'll be gone
  Far away..
   to never land
  Leaving my love behind me..
   with my principles, for which I stand

      I leave behind my heart
      I leave behind my soul
      I leave behind all my beliefs
      The few things that made me whole

  Do not look for me..
   for I'll never be again
  I once thought that I was..
   but it was only paper and pen

  His face ... it floats before me
   His voice rings in my ears
  My future is now my past 
   all my life washed away in tears.

Dear Jetz

This is poignant and sad and rips your heart out, this is so heartfelt I could feel in every word the sadness you dripped onto the page .. Your working hard and its showing :) great work .. kind regards Jayne :) just one suggestion? on the stanza where you say this place?, I dont know, I maybe wrong, but I think 'in this place' would have better flow in both lines, but its your beauty :)

I can feel...

...the hurt and the pain in this one. I love poems that throw emotions around like they are leaves in the wind. Full of sadness and despair...beautiful. You even dropped in a chorus...and probably didn't notice it: I leave behind my heart I leave behind my soul I leave behind all my beliefs The few things that made me whole I feel that although you are telling him not to come and find you...deep inside you desperately want him to...nice guilt trip...love this poem. It deserves a happy ending, but alas...you stuck to your principles. Good for you girl...he probably wasn't worth it anyway! regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
