WHY DID YOU?

Why did you make me love you?
Why did you take a piece of my heart?
Sometimes I still wish i wouldn't have met you
For I wouldn't be alone crying in the silence of the dark

Why did you make me need you?
Why did you have to make me smile?
Sometimes I still want to curl up next to you
For I love you from across the wide distant miles

Why did you make me want you?
Why did you make the passion begin?
Sometime I still want to caress and touch you
From the early night till the sunshine rises once again

Why did you make me see you?
Why did you have to make me laugh?
Sometimes I still want to be where I can greet you
For the devilish twinkle in yours eyes make me strangely daft

Why did you make me hear you?
Why did you make your voice so sweet?
Sometimes I still want with yearning lust to hear you
The deep tones that vibrate from your voice, my ears greatly seek.

[The Analog Kid]

Isn't it the voice of your lost lover/object of desire that's one of the most tangible ways we remember them? Love the last stanza.

To quote Journey,
"Callin' out her name I'm dreamin'
Reflections of a face I'm seein'
It's her voice
That keeps on haunting me."

[alesuriko]

Nicely written. I love the use of the senses. You definitely could have continued on although that would probably drag out the poem. It's flow and form is really very well done.

[MissWordSmith]

very very nice!!

[Jenny Nelson]

Pretty much covers all the bases of someone who fell hook, line, and sinker, and then ended up with nothing but regret and longing. Much emotion very well expressed. I'm sure many folks can relate.

[The Water Queen]

I can so relate to this poem. Very emotional and very deep. It sends emotions through the body that have been long forgotten. Great poem.

[Bette]
