There was a time, at the crossroads of my life
When all I wanted was to lock my heart away
Hide forever, in the depths of my loneliness
Sleeping there, to never see the light of day.
Like a creature not meant to see, or be seen
I concealed myself somewhere within my pain
My heavy heart drowning, weak with sorrow
Screaming, crying for someone to rescue me.
But who would have thought that, in all the world
The one to revive me would be so warm and gentle.
You saw my pain, and you offered me your hand
Pulled me from the shattered depths of despair.
Your friendship guided me through the darkness
You made me smile, when I though I never would.
And when I left town, I found myself missing you.
That was when I knew that we were so much more.
You were much like I was, but I never knew
That, within your soul, I would find my refuge.
We tried so hard to hide the attraction, love
But the chemistry was far too intense to contain.
And now, I fall before you this night, my love
Asking you to save me from the darkness again
For it was you who washed away my tears
Who carried me to the land of light once more.
It was only you who held my frigid hand
Who woke me up inside, when I thought myself dead.
For I had wished, day and night, on wishless stars
Thinking that God couldn't hear me at all.
But my screams and sighs were finally answered
When you held me in your arms, and I broke down.
So now, we stand together, as you take my hand
And we walk, side-by-side, to the end of the tunnel.
Author notes
"I could have gotten you a job, or asked you on a date, but... I fell in love with you the minute you walked into my store."
Option 1: Love
Travis and I met while we were both going through a really bad time in our respective lives. Despite the company having a policy against supervisor-employee relationships [or relationships of any kind], we kept it secret. We dated, with the intent of using each other for sexual favours, for 4 months: We were drinking buddies, friends.. Anything but a couple, and that was fine with both of us, until one day...
In February, went home to visit my parents for my birthday, and that was when I realized that I missed him. I wrote a poem about our friendship, and someone on AP said, "I know that feeling. Being in love, but being apart..." And that was when it hit me. We weren't just friends anymore. Upon my return, he greeted me with the words, "I missed you so much. I'm sorry for getting attached... I know it wasn't supposed to be like this."
And a few days later, the infamous words:
"Ever since I met you, I've wanted to tell you that I loved you..."
So, this is for the one who has my heart. He found me in my most vulnerable state, at one of the darkest times in my life, and despite being in pain himself, was able to let that go to tell me that he loved me. His friendship and love mean so much, and I want to be able to give back to the one who has given so freely of himself.
You mean the world to me. I LOVE YOU!

A very pretty write. I'm glad everything worked out for you. I loved your background, I'm a huge fan of POTO.
Love is a great feeling, and I'm glad you've found it.
Thank you for entering and good luck.

You being in love would explain the clichéd phrases in the beginning. This improves as it goes on. I LOVE the last verse...the feeling there made me long for a partner of my own. It's also very refreshing to watch you turn such bleak sentiments into something so comforting by its end.

Whoa.
VERY well written. I could feel the emotion in this piece. I have to say...I really likes this stanza and could relate to it:
"Like a creature not meant to see, or be seen
I concealed myself somewhere within my pain
My heavy heart drowning, weak with sorrow
Screaming, crying for someone to rescue me."
Hell, I can relate to the whole thing.
Well done, thanks for entering and good luck!
