Herald Poems: Dido

Sometimes life and things never goes as we want or planned. The ones we love hurts us the most. You can find all my poems here.

She’s a whistle on the wind,
A feather on the breeze,
A ripple on the stream,
She is sunlight on the sea,
She’s a soft summer rain,
Falling gently through the trees
And I love her.

She is something to admire,
She shines like a mirror,
I call her Dido,
I got big plans for us,
But all I got now is memories.

I don’t know how and I don’t know why,
She is leaving but I can’t change her mind,
She found a new Prince charming,
He makes her happier than I do,
I feel like talking but start to cry.

They say love is for the loving,
Without love maybe nothing is real,
Now I am Loveless or maybe I just loved less 
And appreciated her less,
I could’ve told her that I adored her.

I would love to feel love, 
But I can’t stand the rejection,
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection,
I thought I was close,
But under further inspection,
It seems I’ve been running in the wrong direction. 

Love comes and goes,
But no one ever tells you
How to learn to let go,
Never Knew I could get my heart 
Broken in so many ways.

Everybody’s looking for somebody to love,
But we’re scared to let them in,
When I start feeling that it’s gone too far,
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars,
I wonder if they’re staring back at me.

I will see you someday before the end,
I don’t know where and I don’t know when,
But if things ever goes South,
I just want you to know,
 I will be here waiting to make it right.
