Don't Know What To Do


As I lie on the grass looking up at the moon,
Many thoughts cross my mind,
How we met, how you used to look at me,
How I would get tongue-tied whenever I saw you,
But it has all been left behind.

Now I am alone again.

Joy and pain strike my heart at the same moment,
As I glance around and see
The place where we would sit together;
You would keep on talking and I would gaze at you;
The bench under the tree.

Only what's now left is the pain.

You have gone away and refuse to talk to me,
Why - I don't have a clue.
You have left me alone in the darkness,
I feel so helpless like I haven't felt ever before,
I don't know what to do.

There was no aim in my life,
No reason to survive,
Before I saw your eyes;
From darkness it helped me rise.
I loved you with all my heart,
Then why did you depart?
Help me rain, save me rain,
Wash away the unending pain.

....very few can express emotions through writing so well.Good job, considering(assuming) the feelings involved are influenced by imagination and the poem is a work of pure fiction.
