I, too, Have Known Pain

I see him in your pages,

His laughter invading the world around him.

I see the love in her eyes,

In the eyes of the one who found him.

 

I see their love slowly unfolding

As the world around them fades away.

They live only for one another

The the happiness and time they have today.

 

I see the scene as it unfolds

Of a third one outside in shadows

Who watches with a heavy heart,

The life that soon follows.

 

The one in the shadows,

Afriad of letting her feelings known

Allows her life to pass her by

In a furture that is hollow and alone.

 

You see, dear author, i know

The love, to you, was never gained.

About the woman in the shadows.

I, too, have known pain.

[redd Brick Keshner]

Quite rightly so! And thus the poet's soul resides in both your bosom and that of your poems.

[Edmond Dantes]

very well done. definetly a 4 or 5 star in my book, just needs cleaning up tad bit with:

"The the happiness and time they have today." -cut a the
"In a furture that is hollow and alone." - future, right?
