I enjoyed the way the speaker in the poem describes the man that thugs at her heart. The description is so effective that we can almost see visibly and hear the sound of his boots on the floor. What an excellent write.

I enjoyed this sad/realistic narration of the lover who realizes she is not "miss right" but more "miss right now" and wants to enjoy that "now" before it passes. Pragmatic--yet one senses it won't be so easy so see that door close, even though she's tried to prepare herself. Very moving.
A thought--the poem suggests he hasn't left yet "I know before long..." and most of the poem is written in the present.
However, this stanza is written in past tense and is a bit jarring in the timeline:
Your future was calling;
The voice wasn't mine.
I wanted to be there
To watch your light shine.
Shouldn't it be
Your future IS calling
the voice ISN'T mine
I WANT to be there
to watch your light shine
Just a thought as the change in timeline was confusing since it shifts in the middle of the poem--yet they are still together at the end of the poem..."for now...."

Comment from Joy Graham
Yes, this is a sad one. We all have some sad stories to tell. It's better out than in as Austin Powers says in his movie. I like your carefree writing style. It's easy to read with no hidden meanings or big words for me to decipher lol!

This is a very well written song you have penned. This would be a really good country song to be sung. You used very good heartfelt words and great imagery with your words. Blessings, Teri

A sad and certainly a melancholy song with vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion.
The last stanza really brought it all together. Very nicely done and good luck in the contest.
