Second Place Poem by Scott tennorman

From one to another

I am left behind

Not given a thought

Just a swift goodbye

Tossed around

Like a useless thing

Needed only

For your times of stress

Sometimes its hard

And i ask myself

Why do i stay?

Through all this strife

Could it be

Those forgiving eyes

Encticing and inviting

With there unique disguise

They are my blanket

They keep me warm

With love in my heart

I will stay

Battling on

Through repeating days

I just hope, one day

You will see

That i love you

And you love me

But till that day

If it should come

The sidelines i remain
