I just have a few things to say
After that, you don't have to stay
First off, I want to thank you
For stopping by today
You'll always have a place in my heart.

But the streets are so cold at night
Nothing but dead leaves on the ground
How I miss the silence
And the comfort in your smile

If you knew it was all a dream
Why didn't you just wake me up--
From the lie?

I would lie awake in my bed
And remember how it all ended up
I don't think I ever told you
But I know how you always tried you best
But in the end
I just needed to be stonger

Sometimes I would sit all by myself
And wonder how I was gonna carry on
If you were gone....

And as time goes on
You begin to wonder
What it was you saw in me.
I haven't forgotten what I saw in you.
I know I'm helpless
But we're both still alone
At least that much is true.

Sometimes I feel like crying
Sometimes I think I should just give up
And I would watch the sun rise high
Then wish upon the stars at night
To try and calm my soul

Sometimes I would sit all by myself
And wonder how I was gonna carry on
If you were gone....

And as time goes on
You begin to wonder
What it was you saw in me.
I haven't forgotten what I saw in you.
I know I'm helpless
But we're both still alone
At least that much is true.

I know you have to go.
I talked too much, and it went too far.
Just promise me one thing:
You'll stay just how you are.
Stay who you are, and never forget me.

This is dedicated to anyone who has felt the pain of heartbreak in thier lives. Whether through rejection, rejecting another, being forgotten or unloved, being ignored or abused. To anyone who has cried over another, or made another cry. I don't know if this piece can live up to all of that, but I hope at least one line can identify with everyone.

This is for love, and love-lost. And everyone who wished that it would just stay, just a little bit longer.

That means that the song is dedicated to almost everyone (sad but true). And I'm sure there are more than just one line that most of us can identify with us (also sad but true) :cry:

That's a rather beautiful, bittersweet song, even with it's melancholy tone. And I agree, it's definitely universal since it feels like the poem can be indentified with on so many levels. Very nice flow, tone, diction, and use of imagery. Great job, as always ^^
It can be that much, Jesse. It does have a piece for everyone.

"And as time goes on
You begin to wonder
What it was you saw in me."

That's the line that I best understand..

Sad and beautiful.
Indeed it is sad at times, but it was also intended to give out a little bit of hope. To know, that in all of our pain and suffering, there is at least one other person out there who knows what you're talking about. :hug: ya know?

We're afraid of the things we never really show
I'm Sorry That I Pushed Things So Far

ha, it's ironic. Those were the lines that the entire piece stemmed from. Those lines just popped in my head, because it was how I felt at that moment. And then the rest of the piece just kinda flowed from it. Those lines are some of the best I understand as well. ;)
