Don't Want To See

Don't want to
hear you cry
in the dark

Blaming yourself
for missing
the mark

Don't want to
see the world
change your
heart

You're the same
as you were
right from
the start

Don't like to
see you knock
yourself down

It breaks my
heart to see
you frown

Don't want to
see you waste
your life

Scratching for
love whether
husband or
wife

Don't want to
see you spend
life alone

Sitting on your
bed
Waiting by
the phone

Don't want to
see you trying
to measure up

To attract that
love who would
fill your cup

So, I've taken
your pain upon
myself

Lifted your heart
from a lonely
shelf

I've suffered
those dark nights
right by your
side

And grieved in
my heart
the times you
cried

Yes, you're worth
every tear drop
I've saved them
all

My loving arms never
let's you fall

She's lucky, she has now a loving heart to save her tears, which she will shed no more. She will have a wall to support her so that she doesn't fall. I wish she truly appreciates all the benefits that befell her. Good write and lovely, lovely sentiments indeed. True love I would call it. Thank you.

hi cafetwo2010, this is good, full of caring thoughts, compassion, very well written and a first rate poem, all of us can identify with some part..thumbs up
cafetwo2010
Thank you Mr. Christian..Always a pleasure. I've been down some rather rough paths in my life, seeing life from many angles. And I've seen a great deal of good in people so I try to blend the right sentiments with a reasonable degree of clarity. My scripture study has enabled me to connect with universal themes.thumbs up

It made the same impression on me as when I first read it, no difference, as if time never passed. Another proof that true poetry and sentiments never age. Very kind of you, Cafe, to remind us of it, thank you! hug

marikia..

Thank you sweet.. I'd like all the great
poets on here to bring their old stuff
back. It's like listening to an old song.
They really never get old. Mabey I am
something of a poet. But even if I'm not,
you all have made me feel like Shakespere.lol
