Five years of
studying and learning
how to save
a life and
How to ease their pain

Five years of
endless laughter
silly smiles
and golden friendship

Five years of
wandering soul
trying to find
solace

Five years of
building self
and
just being me

Five years of
eternity
Finally
ends ...
Joanne Heraghty May 2015
When you stood upon that podium, with your head high in the clouds,
You obviously were not thinking clear.
And you leaped on to something you wished to reach,
But you never actually got there.

Instead you took a different route,
And went tumbling to the ground.
The experience was so breath-taking,
That you couldn't even make a sound.

Onlookers threw foul words at you,
And kicked you while you were down.
But you stood back up and showed them
That, you didn't even drop your crown.

Not only did you get back up,
But you continued to walk with pride.
Despite the injuries that were taunting you then,
From deep down inside.

Now you know to always look before you leap,
Because, otherwise, you know you'll only get hurt.
But, you can keep your head high in the clouds,
As long as you leave both feet firmly in the dirt.

That time when love was none.
That time when we met.

That time when we're the best of friends,
When you used to smile at me,
When you talked to me ti'll midnight,
When you listened to my problems,
When I realized that I fell for you.

That time when you fell in love with me,
When Valentine's Day was happy,
When New Year was always new,
When we exchanged gifts on Christmas,
When we realized how happy we are,
To be together.

That time when I get jealous,
When I cried and you carried me,
When you made me understand,
How was I unique with other girls.

That time when you get jealous,
When you doubted everything I do,
When your trust was gone,
When you killed my freedom,
When I forgot about personal space,
When I swallowed my pride,
When I cried because of you,
Because I'm scared to lose you.

This time, it was over.
When I am explaining my thoughts,
When I am defending for what is true,
When I am telling the truth,
When I am deeply in love with you.

Now, as I cried,
I have read,
"What kills love more than an unfaithful lover,
is a heart that doubts,"
I gained your full loyalty,
But you never saw me trust worthy.

That time, I found the good,
In goodbye.
