For The First Time
For the first time since you left me,
I was able to look at you without pain,
For the first time since you left me,
I could truly be happy with you only as my friend,
For the first time since you left me,
I could honestly hope you're happy with him.
Each day gets a little easier,
And each day I laugh a little more.
Each day life begins to mean something again,
And each day I learn to love again.
Each day I care about you a litle less,
And each day I grow a little stronger
I still hear the words you spoke, and I still feel your warm touch,
But the memorie no longer hurts.
Every day before now I felt your gaze like scalding knives.
And every day before now I couldn't bare to look at you.
For the first time since you left me though,
I stand strong and feel no pain

i like the way the words flowed in the poem. i've felt this way exactly one time, so i sort of get what it was that you're saying.
great job on expressing your feelings. not many people can write poems and actually get their point across... or at least not to me. :)
i don't know who thought this poem was emo and depressing. nor do i care as to why they'd be so simple minded as to think that. but they most certainly were wrong. this poem was good. 5 stars worthy.
and i got the meaning. If they didn't, their missing out! keep it up KAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
