A Poem

[Tarzan's Jane]

A couple of months ago I got inspired to write poetry...which is really quite surprising for me cuz I sucked at it in school.

 

Anyhow....I wanted to share this one with you.

 

 

 

A Different Song

 

I saw her sitting, in the park

It was late….cool and dark

All alone, she was that night

I kept myself, out of sight

 

For the longest time, she never uttered a word

Until I heard a sound, something I had never heard

She brought her arms up and fell to her knees

I didn’t know if I should go, if I should just leave

 

Give her some comfort, would you please?

Send her an answer, quick make it ease

Don’t ask me, to handle this, all alone

Feeling scared, I just want, need, to go home

Something told me, I had to stay

I felt like an intruder, on that day

Her heart was breaking, I could tell

For I could feel it, in my own as well

 

I didn’t know, what brought her this pain

I didn’t know, how to stop the cold rain

I silently got up, and walked towards her

Our eyes met, and I immediately recognized that hurt

 

My legs won’t move I’m full of fear

What if she gives up while I am near?

Her painful sobs now filling me, no way can I deny that

Oh why did I come here, I’m not able to turn back

I went to her side and I held her tight

Her sobs awoke my own, hidden inside

The two of us shared that special moment

For we came face to face with our torment

 

During this moment of sweet surrender

I understood why, with a stranger

Truly I wish her all the best

In this sharing of pain, I found some rest.

 

We had a moment, her and I

I took hers and she took mine

Together we sang a different song

Deep in our weeps, we accepted the wrong.

Cool---I'm sure like all writers there's a story attached to this one.
