Wasted

[Mary Jane]

The moment's gone, it's already passed me by
But please just say you'll stay
Cuz all the years I've wasted on my dreams
Just now got thrown away
Feeling like an orphan, a name I'll never know
Waiting for someone that never came
The same old song is playing on a broken stereo
I'm the only one to take the blame
Scars are lasting pictures of the pain
They tell us who we are
I tried to lose myself and went insane
Forever's not so far
Lost inside my past and there's nothing to believe
Forgetting why I left my memory
Giving up a heart no one's looking to recieve
No one can escape their history.

This poem is very good. It reminds me of one I wrote . Sorry, that sounded kind of self-centered, but it does remind me of my poem "Moment."

[Elisha]

It is good, it reminds me of that song name by the goo goo dolls. Do you know the one I'm talking about? It's my favorite song in the world and this poem is so much like it. I know all the words, I'll show you what I mean.
And even though the moment's passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you thought you'd never lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans that never knew their names
You don't belong to no one that's a shame
But you can hide beside me maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
Scars are souviners
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
Grew up way too fast and now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become out history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name

Maybe I'm crazy but that's what I get out of it. It's a beautiful poem. You should write more
