    Bad Cards

    I want to laugh with you like that.
    I want to be held in your arms.
    Why did dhe get the life that I wanted?
    Why was I delt the bad cards?

    I never seem to get what I want.
    And all I want is you.
    Why can't you love me,
    The way that I love you?

    But I guess that will never happen.
    I will just have to play the cards I was delt.
    Because you want her and not me.
    Boy does that hurt like hell.

    My only choice is to move on.
    But I shall always remember you.
    Even though you never loved me,
    The way that I loved you.

    Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me. Bayard Taylor: I love thee, I love but thee With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold, And the stars grow old...

    Mournful, and romantic, this poem tugs at the heart, but I don't see the strength that Isaw in I've moved on.... was this perhaps an earlier poem? all in all a very good poem and heart felt obviously. well done

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
