Talking to your picture
Every night of everyday
Talking to your picture
Since you went away
I say the things
I’d like to say to you
But its not the same
Its just a picture, not you
Every letter I send you
Returns unopened and unread
That’s why I cry myself to sleep
Each night when I go to bed
Every time I come to see you
I’m told your not in
Won’t you ever see me
So that we can love again
Hi, David: I like this poem better than 'Tempted.' Sorry, but 'Tempted left me rather cold, being an old lady. Yes, I was young - once. I like the sentiment in this poem. Feelings of rejection, loss, sadness. I especially like your ending line because it ties up the rest of the poem. I would leave out the word 'that' and it would make the line flow better. Won’t you ever see me - So we can love again keep writing, I see a budding talent! alicia
Sometime it's better just to say goodbye even if it hurts. Of course this is easier said than done. Excellent poem, Melvina
