Loved from a distance: by David Mullins He never even knew it,but she loved him She thought of him and laid awake at night wishing she could find the nerve to tell him she loved him with a love so true and right The years went by and still her courage failed her She watched him as he led the normal life A job down at the factory he managed And soon he had a baby and a wife From a distance she still watched and always loved him Wishing for the things that couldn't be Passing by him on the street she always nodded And the nod back was her only chance to see As time went slowly by her poor heart saddened and when his wife decided they should part She knew that she should call and tell her feelings But a cold gray wall of doubt now held her heart Now an aging woman walks along the sidewalk And her old legs barely make her normal rounds As she passes by his house her heart is heavy For one year ago they placed him in the ground There's a moral to this story you should cling to Never let a chance of love slip through your hands Shout it out to all the world so they will hear you For a heart that is divided cannot stand Once I was the same: by David Mullins I sense the pain you feel inside It shakes you to the core You've lost the one who meant the world the skies above and more your lonely days and sleepless nights pierce your very soul But listen to me now my friend for i've been there before Yes once i lived in misery my heart had been abused I cried alone on sleepless nights and felt the way you do I cursed my God and begged to die my heart torn from my breast in endless hours of numbing need My soul did have no rest But one day clouds all rolled away and a brightness slowly came Trust me friend,love will live again For once i was the same Return to Submitted Poetry Return to Home Page |
