21. When You Are Old
Famous Poem
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

In this poem, Yeats has used a universal theme. In their youth, many behave in a thoughtless manner and they miss certain things in life. Through his personal experience, Yeats makes the...

Sitting alone
On a bench that's made for two,
Only one side is empty,
For that place is meant for you.
The experience in this poem is exactly the experience I had two weeks ago.

It is a terrifying thing
to watch love
walk in your direction
when you believe
Very well written and, in my opinion, very true. I like it and agree totally with it.
Letting you go is not easy
No matter how hard I try
I cannot seem to get you out of my mind
Letting go is really hard but trying to forget is harder. Heh..reminds me of the times we spent together, me and my lover, everywhere I go it is all that I remember, I wanted us to stay...
Will I forget your beautiful face?
Will I forget your sweet embrace?
Will I forget how I felt with you?
Will I no longer feel so blue?
Forgetting someone you love is like trying to teach a chicken how to fly. It's not in our nature, but it is in our nature to move on and accept what has happened (if we choose to do so)....
I think of her and our time together,
And the tears come to my eye.
I never wanted to see her go,
Never wanted to say goodbye.
This is exactly what's going on with me and my ex. We had to break up since he wanted to get his life together. It sucks that I can't be with him but I'm hoping one day we'll be together...
I've never felt so alone.
The tears stream down my face.
I only want to feel you
And lie there in my space.
This tale's of someone who once held a dream
Till the day she fell apart at the seams.
A dream that vanished up into thin air
That left its trail of sorrow and despair.
You held my hand so tight.
We watched the stars all night,
But still I realize
There's something in your eyes.
I could fill the oceans with the tears I've cried
Or cover the entire earth with blankets of failed tries.
Countless times what I thought was truth became a lie.
Everything is falling apart, and I'm sick of asking why.
I've been longing to hold you...
I've been longing to touch you...
I've been longing to kiss you...
and to feel your body next to mine...
The looks, the heat
Every smile, so sour, so sweet.
I had known you made me complete.
Everything I needed, I never wanted more,
I don't get how you can't see
All the things you did to me.
If only you knew
All the pain you put me through.
I still remember the moment we met
The time we shared, I'll never regret
That summer in the sun we spent together
I can only hope you'll always remember
Somewhere between
hello and goodbye
a whole life happened.
And now, I am left to wonder
How can I let go of you, the one who holds my heart?
We loved being together; now we cry as we're apart.
I turn and look one last time, as I slowly walk away.
Holding out your hands, you quietly asked me to stay.
For far too long
I've been a prisoner,
Held captive by your beauty,
That I've never been strong enough
I will always love you; this much is true.
How to do this, I haven't a clue.
So here it goes, the only way I know how
I always thought I'd know
when I found the one for me.
But it seems I guessed the wrong one,
'cause we're definitely not meant to be.
It is hard to imagine life without you in it.
The dreams that we shared are now just painful things.
When you realize that no matter what you do,
No matter what you try,
