| My Poem This page has the one and only poem I wrote that I absolutely love. It was written after I broke up with Jon, my first boyfriend in November 2000. Hope you like it! THE SHATTERED DREAM AND THE ONE-WAY STREET Here I am, stuck on a runaway train Fate is the conductor A stranger covered in shadows stands on the platform I thought I knew him The whole thing is falling apart in front of my eyes I never saw it because denial blinded me All of my hopes and dreams are slowly cracking like glass Pain fills a world flooded with tears In this relationship, love is a one-way street The dark-man still stands on the platform I wish that he would stop this train His feet seem glued to the spot I thought he'd be with me forever Distance separates us Warm tears fall from my eyes They land on the ground as ice Numbness eases everything Denial is a safety net I run to the front of the train and overcome Fate I control my destiny I stop this train and run back to the platform The man is no longer dark He is walking away from me holding someone else's hand I stand alone A cold wind blows through the station My heart He's gone The pain is too intense Who left who? Am I the perfect victim? Or the perfect victimer? Time does not heal all wounds Love will never regenerate itself as does skin Seeing him with someone else would kill me Love is a one-way street And I I am the passenger ~Tim V. November 20,2000 |
