Behind the clouds
There's the sun
Behind the figure
There's the shadow
Behind the song
Is a romantic melody
Behind my sweetest smiles
Are gallons of tears
Behind my happiness
Is an endless pain
Behind my laughter
Is eternal sorrow
Behind everything I have
I own nothing
Behind me
There's no one standing
Behind my most painful fall
No one's there to catch me
I have no choice but to run
Escape from reality
Leaving everything behind
Leaving you...behind

Greatly put, with thought-provoking meaning, nicely formatted, and the reader can almost feel what the writer's feeling... I almost forgot, and on top of that, the most emotional poem I've read in quite a while. How brilliant is this? I can't tell you how to 'improve' the poem, or to even critique it, since I think it's perfect. The title you chose, is just adding up to the sorrow. If I have to sum it up, this is just amazingly beautiful, despite of the fact that this overflows with pain.
Absolutely deserves a 'like'.

Thu, November 4th, 2010 5:19pmMost emotionally heartfelt and sad. Interesting reflection of one's personal past. Of all your postings liked this one the best. Great writing.
Gave it an "I Like It" vote. As with your other postings. At times, without commenting. All well deserved.
Presentation Issues:
1. Skip a(n extra) line between intended paragraphs (for fiction) and intended verses (for poetry).
2. Start a new paragraph each time a character may speak, in quotes "", in his/her turn.
Thank you for becoming a fan. Appreciative and grateful. You are most kind, thoughtful and considerate.
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.
