You walked away when I wanted you to stay.
You walked away when I needed you the most.
You walked away even if you knew that would tear me down.
You walked away even though I loved you.
I stood up because I thought life was worth fighting for.
I stood up because I know that you are happy.
I stood up even though it hurts so much.
I stood up even if my love ran away.
You walked away and went your own way.
You walked away and found her.
You walked away to be with the one you love.
You walked away before causing me more harm.
I stood up but still feel the pain.
I stood up and think of you all the time.
I stood up to enjoy what I still have left.
I stood up to see you smile.
You walked away not too long ago.
You walked away to marry her.
You walked away to be with your son.
You walked away before I even knew you would.
I stood up to look for shelter.
I stood up to be wrapped up in warmth.
I stood up to stop the tears from falling.
I stood up to say goodbye.

J'ai écrit ce poème pendant une heure de permanence (n'ayant rien d'autre à faire) et c'est venu tout seul. Il ne relate en aucun cas ma vie personnelle, tout vient de mon imagination.
Etant américaine, les mots me sont venus plus naturellement en anglais que si je l'avais fait en français mais il suffira d'une personne qui me demande pour que je le traduise.
J'ai utilisé l'anaphore (= une figure de style qui désigne la répétition d'un même mot ou groupe de mots en début de phrase ou de vers) car j'ai trouvé cela joli.
Je le poste, encouragée par une amie, et j'espère qu'il vous plaît.
Kiss, Lexie xoxo :*
