You Once Stood Here

Contributed by pinkunicornoctober on Tuesday, 14th September 2010 @ 06:36:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief



you once stood here,
so close that i could feel you breathing,
i demanded that you go home,
but of course you refused,
saying you were never leaving me,
because you could see how bad i needed you.
i was independent and loved being free,
so i didn't want you to know,
i felt about you the way you felt for me....
we were both just so young,
and it didn't seem like enough,
to fall in-love,
because we did that once,
and i suddenly gave you up,
because as teenagers ,
the whole world was against us.......
you once stood here,
and i said i didn't need you,
i couldn't even look you in the eye,
instead i cussed you out before saying my "goodbyes",
then slamming the door,
knowing good and well,
if you had seen my face you could tell...
you once stood here,
and i slapped the fire out of you,
i told you to go to hell,
and "it's over, we're through,"
"this time I mean it so don't come back,"
never knowing this would be our last chance to laugh....
now if you're standing here,
it's b/c you're a ghost,
you died shortly after,
i made you go home,
and i still regret it to this day,
b/c it might not have happened,
if i had let you stay.....

wow, this is very sad.
Sorry for every one's loss.
Welcome to YPDC.
I'm sure this was very hard to write.
You told your story well.
Blessings,

This is a very sad story but you tell it with great sensitivity. This is very well writen and your words do your story justice. Well done.
