I have found poetry to be a place for self- expression and emotional release. I wrote this poem on a rainy afternoon, the very day after seeing the love on my life - for the last time.
This poem is about the very meaning of finding love, only to lose it.
This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Teenage Love Poems
A Soul Saved, A Heart Broke
this juliet was bleeding her soul's bright fire dim in a life of sorrows it was sink or swim on the shore she saw him a romeo, prince of the night against all odds she reached out and turned from garish light then he pulled her from the tide saved the dying maid she afraid to love him and yet by her side he stayed with blind faith she followed into his shadow she fell seduced by black and velvet drunk of passion's spell a day spent long in bliss a moment meant so much and no more was this juliet starved from love's sweet touch then the darkness overcame in silence he left her there never saw her tears fall or heard her heartstrings tear left alone in pain once again she did bleed shackled by other's power longing to be freed once again, yet time was short in twisted fate they met in shaded seconds spent together yet no where did they get again ripped apart by time and distance seals the fate now all this juilet feels is pain, despair, and hate she cries without a tear shed she lives without a soul she curses the one she loves now for everything he stole 'I love you' she did long to hear but these were words he never said and now this juliet lays weeping and wishes she were dead |

JulieThis pome is really good. I have fealt that way to, but could never put it in to words.
-
AmandaI just wanted to say that I thought your poem was awsome! You are a very talented poet! I also wanted to say that your poem touched me deeply for two reasons. your use of romeo and juliet. because that play/book had alot of influence on me. well thats what gave me the inspiration to write poems myself. And the feelings and words you use. the description of the way juliet felt in your poem is excatly the way I felt when my first love left me after 2 years. Now I am very much in love with the man that I am married to and wouldnt trade him for the other guy for anything but your first love will always be there in your past because if it wasnt for him/her you wouldnt know love. even if its only one sided love. Great job once again. and good luck ! amanda*
