"What's right is what's left if you do everything else wrong." Robin Williams


You told me you loved me, you told me you cared.
I said forever, I held you when you were scared.
I thought to the future, and you did to.
But unlike your visions, I saw me and you.
I was blind to the truth; I gave into your lies.
Fueled by the flames, now all I feel is despise.
You said you would carry me, but you just let me fall.
I tried to enter your heart, but I just came to a wall.
I fell for an act, A play written so well.
That when I faded from reality, I could not tell.
So I look back today, at all that we lost.
When you said that you cared, your fingers were crossed.

Thank you lace. :) And you have no idea how correct your last sentance is. I remember staring at this poem at one point and just thinking "How in the world am i supposed to end this?" haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and found it so relatable. :)

I love how you managed to turn a simple poem into something so emotional and relateable. I loved the last line and I'm jealous of your ability to wrap it up so well which is something I find rather difficult. The poem could have gone on and on but you found an appropriate phrase and place for your closing which is usually easier said than done.

Beautiful (': Haha, I love it! Very nicely executed.... Although it may be better if you were to use meter a little? I don't know. Anyway, this one is a wonderful piece. Well done!

I love your poem, its one i would memorize. It flows and has all the poetic elements but my favourite part is the spirit.
