Wind

The winds brought sand in my eyes,
I can no longer see
The waves that come rushing,
Leaving me blind in the sea.

I tried to understand the details
Of why you kept away.
So I Could try to win you back,
Before it was too late.

Our ships have struggled in the winds of the storm.
They've put up with a lot of problems already.
We can't afford to crash into a rock,
Now that we've set off for the journey into sea.

I wish you would understand
How it'd feel to be in the dark for too long.
I wish you could at least try
To realize that your promise was a lie.

Try going away another time,
But tell me before,
So I wont try stop you.

This truth has finally come down to me,
Come down to me with force.
Don't you blame the wind
If our ships have changed their course.

FR; don't know if that was irony on your part, hope it was. You may ofc think what you want of this poem, but I believed the ending to be the best part of it. What really made the poem.

Also this part:

"I wish you would understand
How it'd feel to be in the dark for too long.
I wish you could at least try
To realize that your promise was a lie."

Simple but really effective, and DP once again proves to me what he writes hits like a brick in the stomach.

Way to go DP, I have full faith in you.

haha, becc, I couldnt stop laughing and smiling at the same time.

Well, I dont blame Rose for not liking the poem, it was mostly cos of the reasons behind why i wrote the poem, and not the poem itself.. :P

And I'm more than happy to know you have faith in me. :) Better hope I live up to it !! xD
