Poem Commentary

something about a frosty man named robert and a horse with a question. what more inspiration do you need.

The Love Not Taken

who's heart that is
I do not know
but the fire in your eyes
he makes it glow
he will not see me pining here
wishing that I could have made it so
the bar tender thinks
it's just the beer
that each night
has me sitting here
staring at the house
across the lake
where your love grows
 and my heart breaks
the empty cold inside
just makes me shake
 tears start to fall
when it's more than I can take
I didn't learn to dance
 this end I fear
watching you at night
through designer beer.

Sweetie, this is "Beautifully" penned straight from the Heart. I`ve learned that when you least expect it....Love will find You when You`re NOT lookin`( I am a Living Testimony of that) may the new year bring forth new beginnings for you in everything especially "TRUE LOVE " Blessings Tierra @}-'-,

I love the phrase "designer beer". I am wishing you a new love that will make you look back on this and wonder why you ever cared.

worst feeling ever - watching someone you love, love someone else. lovely phrasing - even with the beer. maybe you're irish :)
