The Meeting Poem by james d nall,jr

i rediscovered a part of me
that for so very long, i didn't see
being a loner was my style
but feeling alone, stole my smile
you walked into my life, like a breath of fresh air
made me realize, that life could be fair
warmth filled my long cold heart
giving my emotions, a brand new start
i fell for you from the highest peaks
but, soon, the tears left their streaks
as you disappeared from the life we'd planned
running away from what would have been grand
now at home, you sit crying, in the dark
knowing on my heart, you've left your mark
me, on the other hand, i'm quite all right
i sleep so peacefully, each and every night
with a young woman, wrapped in my arms
now a victim of my own charms
