Goodbye Love.....
I have loved you from the first moment i saw you
Ninth grade when we met
Trips across the country that I will never forget..
Countless other things we talked about that we never got to do.
The time we shared so innocent and true.
Talks of our future together has faded into an unfulfilled goal
Now I sit here alone, with a heart that now has a hole
I loved you completely mind, body and soul...But
I gave you less than 100 percent,
So I guess this is what i get.
A sinking feeling in my stomach and eyes filled with tears
I can only blame myself and my foolish fears.
I wasted so much time trying to just be, and had you waiting on me
Thought you were going to be there forever, I believe this
But now I finally see
When loves in your hands you got to grow up, be a man, and walk across the sands
Grab it with all your might
As our love goes out of sight, and in your rear view
Know that I LOVE YOU....GOODBYE!!!!

I read this over the weekend. Very powerful!
What's going on with all the sad love poems? Not all poems are sad and about love/making love. Although this was a pretty good one I must say. Cornell your poems are funny but not serious, this one was serious but not entertaining...keep'em coming.
First, Anonymous, if you're going to call me out by name can everyone that's going to post a comment see yours? It's only fair...
Secondly, I thought the poem was entertaining and heart felt. I actually know if was heart felt. Let's see if you can do better...
...I just read what I wrote. For the record I'm not that soft and what I wrote sounded really, really soft!! hahaha...damn it send in your blogs and poems people.
It's hard not to feel sorry for the author. But then I read this poem again, and want to shake the author. Who ever you are, don't sit there and mope about this lost love. Fight to keep them!! If you never gave 100%, then find them and show them you can give them 100%. Don't just let them walk out of your life, otherwise you never deserved that person in the first place!
Preach it, Anonymous #3! I totally agree!
I was young when I fell in love for the first time, it's been about five years since I saw a "real" future with someone. I can't wait until I feel so deeply to give someone 100% of myself to them. When I find that person I will never let them go and will never have to say what you've said b/c I won't be selfish and just trying to do me. I need "me" time, but you can get that in a relationship without losing the most amazing person.
Don't chase anyone ghost writer. Love is what it is...if you love let it go and if it comes back then its real. Isn't the saying something like that?? Make your case and leave it alone. I skin has thicken over the years so I'm burdened with the flaw of being able to shut it down emotionally so maybe you shouldn't listen to me. With that said, lay in the come and meet half way. Take it slow and start with a conversation. Not about the past but about the future and where you can go.
And don't listen to Anonymous #4 I think I know who that is and "she" will agree with anyone!!!! haha..jking!
Oh Uncle Charlie, you wrote the poem? Definitely missed that. I am not sure if you are referring to me, when you called me a chick who agreed with anyone. I don't get it, because I've never met you. You can call me Alex.
Anyway, love has to have a reason to come back, otherwise it will go where it IS wanted, without a reason the saying has no merit. People don't go into battle knowing they are going to fail. They go because they have HOPE that there will be victory, and they believe something will come from their efforts. The same applies to love. If there is no hope of a future, there is no need to stay. "The best things in life are worth fighting for!" The saying may be a bit more profound. You say we should make our case and leave it alone. If were making a case for my life or in court, would you say the same thing? Of course not, it would be your life we are talking about, a very precious thing. Well so is love. Few people are lucky to find it, those who do should treasure it! Trust me, I tried your way. Now that person has moved on, and I have lost my chance. I will have to live with that for the rest of my life. That fact that you have posted something about this person, be of present or distant past, they obviously still mean a great deal to you! I have read your previous blogs, you seem like a good guy, which means you know how to pick 'em. Don't let that person get away, especially if according to your poem, during the time you two were together she did all the work. It seems you are upset but are still expecting her to continue doing all the work, and come back to you ready to believe you have changed, when really you should be doing to work to SHOW her you are a different man!
Just something to think about.
Thanks, "Alex" but I am no the author of this poem but I know who is and I was just speaking on his behalf and maybe I should not have done that. I appreciate the fact that you read the blog daily and have enjoyed a few of my video poem. Also, thank you for the "good guy" compliment, I try to do my best.
I believe in love and I think not everyone is lucky enough to experience it so it's definitely worth fighting for.
Sorry if you took what I was saying the wrong way and that's the truth (I was just showing off for my homies ha).
Come back soon Alex.
P.S.
You should write something for us to post. Email me and we'll make it happen.
Hey everyone...I am the author of this poem, and I like the response it is getting and thanks Unc. for putting me up here for the world to see, hopefully it helps someone.
When i wrote this I had got the new that my high school sweetheart was getting married, and it was a shock to my heart. These were the words that came out.
Let's call me "Scott Summers"...LOL
hahaha...Scott Summers?!?!
Wow, Alex's response was awsome. I totally love what he wrote (I'm assuming Alex is a guy). Love is a rare find and you have to hold onto something that amazing. You can't hold out and hope for someone to wait b/c you want to do you. I'm sure if you fall in love that person will help you grow and you will love what you will become out of the new found love.
Never let a good thing go.
Well Scott Summers, by the way, nice name choice! I feel ya, sorry you had to go through that! But at the same time, maybe it was a lesson you had to learn. I bet now, when women (sorry I'm just assuming...but hey it could be men too) come into your life, you evaluate more closely because of it. Never a bad lesson to learn! Good luck with the future!
I think Scott Summers's story proved my point that love will go where it IS wanted. So all out there, remember that fact! I heard once, that the person in the relationship (be it romantic or friend) who cares the least holds the power. But relationships aren't about who holds the most power (because my friends, that's called slavery), they are about meeting half way, and give and take. If you have any relationships in your life that either you have all the control, or the other person does, those are the relationships that need the most work.
On a brighter note, Anonymous right above this comment! So can I get a number? Just playin'.
Oh Uncle Charlie, why the name? And what exactly would you like me to submit?
~Alex
Hey Alex I would like you to write a poem or blog about whatever is on your mind so we (community) can discuss it just like Scott Summer's blog entry. Let me know if you're up for it.
You know Uncle C, I think I might very well do that. Let me fester a bit, and I will get back to you with something good.
~Alex
