    I DID NOT MEAN TO HURT YOU

    I walked along the beach the other day Watching the ocean and thinking of all the things I needed to say to you
    My thoughts just overwhelmed me and I watched as all my feelings
    were being swept away , swept away
    I did not mean to hurt you I didn't mean to cheat I know it was I that broke us apart
    Now That you're gone I'll have to carry on The memory of you As I fall to the sand the band begins to play It might be our song
    But all I can hear is the rhythm of my broken heart People run around me as I look up
    Faceless people run around me
    I start to scream they're the demons of my past
    Know one else will ever take your space within my heart Keeping the love we had so close to me I will never let it go
    Oh god I wished that you were still here and not beneath the earth
    Sometimes I feel you watching over me
    You are what I still need to carry on
    Let me know if you are there can you hear me I have things to say to you Is that you standing in the fog come take my hand out of the sand
    You can live again inside of me I leave you with a kiss with luck we meet again Good-Bye my love forever

    The protagonist in this piece seems confused (an effect traumatic emotional experiences often have). It's aura of past regrets AND anxious immediacy give it a panicky quality that definitely makes it memorable.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
