but i like it

The Innocence Fades

There were two young children
Who played every day
Over time, they fell in love
Until the girl had to go away

He watched her go
His heart was sad
And he felt like
Part of him had gone mad

Over time he grew old
And his body was tired
He knew that his years
Were nearly expired

He was home alone, reading
When a knock arrived on his door
He answered, and there stood
The girl he had pined for

She told him the story
Of her life away
And how she had to leave
But had wanted to stay

She told of a debt
Her father owed
Of a lack of income
And a lost safe code

How she needed
To marry a man
And if she hadn’t
The destruction he planned

But now he was dead
Where such evil belonged
She’d live with him now
Like she should’ve all along

He listened to her patiently
And then shut his door
Picked up his book
And listened no more

He pondered her claim
And shook his head
There was only one explanation
To himself he said,

“Books or fables
I’ve read them all
And of those tales
There were none so tall.”

Thats sad. Pathetic really. No offense, maybe its because the poem is really good.

do anyone can write some thing like this...

poetry is emotion put into words. It may seem pathetic to one person, but to another who can relate, or to the author its not at all. I personally liked this poem even if it is sad.

The people who hate poetry are just unfeeling simpletons.
