Crying

A thousand tears I've cried tonight,

hoping you'll come back.

My broken heart falls apart

and despair is the name I bear.

What muse once showed me

the passion of words?

He is gone forever

and I will always cry.

I just wanted something simple

in a beautiful distaster it seems.

But he will never know

after the German whispers their silence.

He still has my heart

it's in a music box you see.

He left it in this postcard

that is in Germany.

I thought there was more than that

a beauty to withstand.

Two writers with deep passion

of what is thy command?

So here I sit in the shadows,

crying and singing a song.

Those sweet melodies I once heard 

will forever be his song.

He left today without a goodbye.

With this I broke in two.

All I want is to is talk to you.

But I guess I never will and will continue to cry.

I never even got to say goodbye!

Tears roll down my cheek

that's all I can think...

is why did you have to leave this way?

It's like I'm drowning in tears

I cannot sleep.

As much as I have tried,

it's just you that I seek.

I want to make a wish

and hope you make it too.

That one day we'll wake up

and talk beneath the moon.

I heard an old story once,

it said no matter where you are,

you always share something with the other side.

I want to share the moon.

I want to look at it and think of you,

and hope that you'll think of me too.

It seems childish I know,

but I want to have you wherever I go.

So please come and say goodbye,

I don't want you to leave me and hide.

I miss you and it hurts the way you left.

Now there will forever be a scar on my chest.

Ignore grammer.
haha. Typical. I was actually making a note to mention it as I read through. Other than grammer there aren't any other real problems with this piece. Although, the flow in some places is not as good as it could be. This could be improved upon.
It is, overally, a really good piece of poetry. It is great. Good job.

this poem reveals so much pain and hurt and is very much emotional, hope the person for whom it was written reads it and comes back to you....

Hi Brandee - it's Colin from the Poetic Minds!
Karla shut down the site for some reason and has moved it to a different location with different guidelines and a new look - and it's terrible. I am so sorry for this ...because we had a good group of people and I was very proud of what we had done up to that point!
I always loved and admired your writing Brandee - and I remember our nice little chat, my Irish sister, so if you would like to keep in touch with me - my e-mail address is: [email protected]
I hope all is well with you - and please take good care of yourself - and keep writing!!!!
And think good thoughts!

This is so beautiful and tender, revealing what was once shared and the pain of the loss... It carries such sadness in the story you unveil... Richly woven in love and tears... Just amazing...

Those separation of continents leave us worst off. Wishing on stars for things so far away. A sad poem filled with emotion and love. When I was young and drinking. Those long distance calls were costly. Better always to face someone then to leave a open wound. Ending told the story. A excellent poem.
