Poetry
The heart is a strange thing
By ReflectingGod
23 May 2008
Random poem about love lost, love found.

You make me scream,
You make me shout,
You make me feel.

Take my hand,
Never let go.
Where can we go?

Over the mountains?
Or through the woods?
Wander the city streets?

Stay up late,
Get up early,
Wrestle on the wood floors.

Kiss me, kiss me again.
Wrap your arms around, rest against me.

Chase the ducks,
Fly with the birds,
Swim with the fishies.

Left foot,
Left foot,
Turn on right.

Dance with me,
Twirl me around,
Hold me close.

Those days are gone,
Now that you left.
But the sun still shines.

I dance alone, I laugh alone.
I drag my feet along, my hand is empty.

The ducks sit and stare,
The birds are perched,
The lake is placid.

Don't worry,
Don't speak,
I'll be fine within a week.

I drag my feet along,
Staring at the ground.
I hit a wall, my eyes flutter.

Perfect face,
Crooked grin,
Beautiful smile.

Ask my name, walk me down the hall.
A wave good-bye, matching smiles.

Skip class?
Or stay awhile?
My heart punches my chest.

Greek god appears,
My pulse drops,
Crooked smile.

I felt this before,
I felt this with you,
We dance down the hall.

Forgetting faces,
Forgetting names,
Fresh start.

His hand encloses around my heart,
I can not breathe,
Love has returned.

I embrace this new romeo and kiss his face.
The heart is a strange thing, from sad to happy.

Can the end be the same?
Will I simply let this new romeo go?
Enjoy the moments is all I can do.

Love is commonly over used,
Lust is usually the culprit.
I smile, he smiles back.

I am glad I survived.

I can do it again...

Hiya!  
 
I was just having a look through your stuff (as you do) so thought I'd comment! 
 
I really like this poem. I like how you feed us lots of little ideas at a time. 
 
Its very sweet and i thought the 'I am glad I survived' worked very well! 
 
 
See you around!
