Over The Bridge

How is it that you became

The only man I knew with a beautiful name

This time, I'm just so lost

I need to give even when there's no cost

I began to feel completely alone

You were what made a condo feel like home

The solid platform of nineteen years

It's made of the same material and it disappears

My life is no longer about me

But to make sure you get to where you need to be

The moment I looked at you

I became addicted to seeing the colours you do

Without it, I've never found

The notes I'd sing to match your perfect sound

Behind my motive and reason

Thoughts revolve around building despite the season

I am what ever created this

And I'd be willing to have you be my last kiss

Hours spent on learning to fight

Are inevitably a waste when you're what's right

Sometimes I wonder to myself, too

If you need me like I definitely need you

The answer is very clear

That I'll always be okay as long as you're here

[Just me]

Again, another one that I love. You just seem to write in a way that is very easy to relate to.

Sometimes I wonder to myself, too
If you need me like I definitely need you

I think everyone who has been in a relationship has thought this at one stage or another.

This is sweetly romantic....a little sad too? Well done.

[Alex Minito]

the one you wrote for me...

"My life is no longer about me"
"That I'll always be okay as long as you're here"

These lines hit home for me :)

I sense in this piece desperate but true love and if there is one thing I enjoy most about reading poetry is when a piece touches on a subject I'm very familiar with. It twangs at the heartstrings, so to speak. To evoke deep and pure emotion from a reader ... the mark of a great writer.

Superbly done Rebecca :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Home is where the heart is, but if you once shared it with a love gone away then you feel like a stranger in a strange land. Nicely written.

Again...the photo depicts this perfect.

I like how vulnerable, intelligent, and charming the protagonist is.

[Rebecca Hope Rouston]

thank you. getting this one out in my journal almost made me jump a bridge, hence the title. but it was a good metaphor too i guess(:

[soliloquy]

ummm....a perfect metaphor i think....

well done.
