&quot;For it so falls out<br /> That what we have we prize not to the worth,<br /> Whiles we enjoy it, but being lack&rsquo;d and lost,<br /> Why, then we rack the value; then we find<br /> The virtue, that possession would not show us<br /> Whiles it was ours&quot; - William Shakespeare

I stood there, waiting for you in the rain,
Have it ever occur to you that you meant the world to me?
I felt my heart go, like a runaway train,
But you never looked back, at least now you are free.

I hoped for a conversation, but the chance never came,
You walked away, innocent of my feelings.
I tried to pull myself together, tried to be the same,
But subconsciously, my emotions started reeling.

Now I sit here, staring down at this poem,
Thinking about how my efforts were ignored.
And I realized, what I did may be bothersome.
Losing purpose, my feelings are left in discord.

When my vision restored, no longer blurry,
I am forced to abandon my soul, in a hurry.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
