    Poem Commentary

    For the the only hope in my life,Hope Ohlarik

    Here I Stand

     Here I stand watching her walk away

    Knowing that she will come back some day

    Some day will not come soon enough when it does come

    And I wish I was there and out of this emotional slum

    I see her face and wish I could once more hear her voice

    I hope I could tell them that it was their fault she made this choice

    That she didn't walk away

    She ran from the cold, bitter words that she heard every day

    From the false hope and hate that was so freely given to her

    That she cries with her face buried in soft wolf's fur

    It kills me to know that she won't laugh now

    And that she might forget how

    I'll wait,listening to the bitter words and feeling the hate

    Keeping the hope she will come back until late

    So until then here I'll stand

    Watching the road and wishing they would understand that they drove my Hope away 'till the day

    It will be THEM watching ME walk away

    So for now here I stand

    a very emotionally charged piece. i can feel your sadness when i read your words. making your emotions come through in your words is the key to a great poem. and that is exactly what you did in this one.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
