My card was marked long before I had been warned
The tide washed over me, and its current ever strong
Never been a fool, had always read between the lines
but still I was too ignorant to see the neon signs
Love is bare brightening skylines and modest summer winds
Love is life, life in hope of better things
I lie broken, washed up on the sands
Bare;y breathing, with the sunlight bearing down
I’ve adventure in my heart; my feet brushed on by the sea
People, their promises, aren't always what they seem
Sleepy dreams of stories bared around a fire
These days of a hope have fallen by the wire
The pain of losing you, in your eyes I slowly drown
i never imagined you'd hurt me, Imagined you'd let me down
Yet you serve me up this goodbye, you fill me with this hate
Hadn't you been told you give before you take
I just can’t forget, regardless of what they say
I remember your lips, you hands, your every way
It better here, there’s ecstasy enough in the feel of your breathe
sinking in devotion to indefinite depths
Meet me in darkness; waver with me through the flickering lights
Tear stained sheets protect me from the colds of my nights
Can’t anybody see, I want you to hold me, more than I’m afraid
I smile as you leave, inside I’m just broken, love lost and dazed
Author notes
This one comes straight from my heart, and its only come out now you provided me with a reason to write it. Tackling your sexuality and accepting yourself now a days is hard enough, but its made so much worse when its complicated by someone else. I am a lesbian, and I have fallen in love with the most amazing girl. We both know its there, but neither of us feel its right to just be us, so we both live everyday in love with each other and pretending we are happy. Hope its what you wanted. Even so its helped a lot to just get it out thank you.

This world my son, you give, you take. I am not one to put a line or the whole poem in mycomment, but i truly loved it. You hit me in my heart dude, more than you could know. You are one of few on my favorites, because you convey what you feel with beautiful words without it sounding forced, I always say whats on my mind but can't word it eloquently, so bravo to you sweetie, I will be harrasing you with more comments I'm sure. This girl is smokin!
