Leaving Rainbows Behind

A short song that I wrote

Leaving Rainbows Behind

Never knew that you’d walk out of my life

 

Before I looked away,

Never thought to say goodbye

 

Now you’re gone and all I do is cry

 

But that’s okay…

On cloudy days it rains

 

That’s when I look out the speeding train

 

Tears seem to fall as

I watch your back get small

 

Soon your memory will disappear

Your image won’t seem so tall

 

Crying won’t be my career

 

You’ll fade away from the corners of my mind

Leaving rainbows behind

Beautiful imagery here....love the last 3 lines especially......you ever think of getting your songs to an agent? Someone who could put them into the hands of a singer and get them out there?....just a thought.....I enjoyed this one....BB

This poem is so ture. When you lose some one their memories stay but there image fades. I love how its all put together. Another perfect poem by you. Great Job my friend. :)

This is a beautiful poem. I love the way you built the illusions. It was like a trip down the rabbit hole. Superb!

[Poetic Beauty]

I like the last two lines is this poem. Something gray will become something of color and wonder.

You captured the thought here perfectly. I loved the image of the speaker riding a train watching someone get smaller. It is a perfect comapirson. I think that was very well put together, and had a wonderful point to make. I cant wait to read more!

Some people never see a good thing until it’s gone. Great job well done.

The sun shines brightest after a storm. A wonderful message, and a hard lesson to learn. Your imagery was wonderful, and the whole piece flowed. Great write.
