Long Ago

Someone once told me this a long time ago

Someone once told me
A long time ago
That I could never be alone
This is what I was shown
But as I sit here
With a cold side
I can't help but think
That somewhere down the line
You forgot what you said to me
And as my head hangs low
A single tear runs down my face
As I remember what you said to me
Oh so long ago

It's happened to me from time to time. They say they'll never leave, but it's all lies, lies, lies, I suppose.
There's nothing worse than being ignored, or left alone.

"But as I sit here/ With a cold side" Simple, but brilliant line.

Short but very well to the point. You really get across the feeling of abandonment and lonliness. I think it's important to be able to communicate a feel when poetry's written (at least that's what I look for personally, it's not a "written law") but I think you did a great job of that here. I, and I think many people, will identify with this.

Wow. This is a really beautiful poem. I can think of many things this poem can mean and it's great reading it over again. I can't really explain what i like about it except for the fact that it's so well written.

Thank you for sharing.
