Forgotten

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't meant
to be this way.
Left alone
Who can I tell?
Left alone
In the pit of hell.
Left alone,
you didn't care.
Tossed aside,
Good times we shared.
Left alone,
Look what you've done.
Lost in the past,
No where to run.

Forgotten friendships
Lost in time
Did you forget
You once were mine?

Excellent
Donna T. Sep 17, 2008, 8:57pm EDT
I like poems that rhyme. Old fashioned, I guess.

Anyway,this is a very good one - one of my favorites of yours.
Aimee "I Love Points" K. Sep 17, 2008, 9:38pm EDT
Interesting
Spencer T. Sep 17, 2008, 10:08pm EDT
Your mind amazes me. I could see the details as I read.

Good stuff.

Very sad poem Shelbia.

This is very sad, but I love the tempo of your poem and rhyme is cool.

Well written..

Thank you for posting to Point Whore! Wishing everyone many, many points!
Well done, Shelbia. You're a very good poet!

Beautiful poetry, Shelbia. It is something I relate to deep in my being.

The title is the same as a song I heard recently. Now it is stuck in my head! Some of the words are:

Light over darkness
Strength over weakness
Joy over sadness
He knows my name

Father to the Fatherless
Friend to the friendless
Hope for the hopeless
He knows my name

...
I am not forgotten
Never forsaken


I think it is called "I Am Not Forgotten".

You are without doubt an extraordinary poet. This poem is one of your best. These lines:
Forgotten friendships
Lost in time
Did you forget
You once were mine?

are very moving. Good work.
Adina P. Sep 19, 2008, 7:34pm EDT

You are very talented. I loved the poem but especially the last few lines.
Beth G. Sep 19, 2008, 9:53pm EDT
This was an excellent poem Shelbia! And I'm sorry you lost your job, I hope you get another one soon!
Angela A. Sep 19, 2008, 9:54pm EDT
Excellent work!
And, I hope you find some employment soon.
My prayers will be with you.
Beej T. Sep 19, 2008, 10:28pm EDT
Wow! Look Shelba! you have 20 comments already!
This is only day one! I've never had this many comments on anything I've written.
No, my friend, though your poem is written well enough to portray a saddened, lonely heart and powerful enough for us all to feel; I should hope this much positive attention would lighten the heaviness. You should now be so inspired to write another about you never being alone. sort of like the one Sandi S. was trying to remember.
Though we may be blindsided by things that happen to us we are never really alone.
I pray you find a new job soon. A place where you will love your work and make life long friends. Friends that may move on down the road but are in your heart forever!
Stuff like this makes for better poets!
