But Not Softly...

Contributed by Red_October on Thursday, 28th October 2004 @ 01:53:52 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



He holds on to her,
but not softly...
And the wind stops blowing when they kiss.

The water whispers
against itself
making waves
and breaking
the bond that was so fragile
to begin with.

He starts to let her go,
but not softly...
And the rain pours down
from heaven
when he leaves.

The sun rises once more,
And warms her soul -
but not for long.
She watches him from the window,
and remembers their song.

He walks away forever -
but not softly...
And the thunder rolls across the sky
crashing through her tears as she cries.

Now that he's a memory -
She remembers him
(but not softly)
And she smiles to herself
for the first time in
Forever.

Glad you're here to show me these things . . .

'Hardly' a word out of place.

Welcome.

For a poem with soft in the title, it was rather loud. Artifully beautiful I might add.
