"Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters"
Overtaken by my feelings I cannot speak,
Trapped in my mind are the words I seek,
I take the pen and write straight from the heart,
I begin at my end and that’s where I start,
Fire in my veins burns as it turns to ice,
You are the one and only that helped me away from that vice,
I found a new wonder, a joy never so felt,
You and you only caused the ice in my heart to melt,
A small fire you built, burns as an inferno now,
I wish I could say how I feel, but this is the only way I know how,
I spill my emotions like I have never before,
I mean everything I say, and this I insure,
Nothing I’ve felt has had a feeling so right,
You visit my thoughts every single night,
A connection beyond spirit, beyond the soul,
A connection that can only be felt by the heart in its whole,
Knowing that you feel pain unimaginable,
I try my hardest to feel your pain as well,
I can ease the torment that burns in your mind,
The decision is yours, but I will be so kind,
As to wait for you for as long as it has to be,
This is how much I care for you, can’t you see?
I could not write a word without meaning,
Away from the lies and half truths I will be leaning,
You are the one, the only to have my heart in your hand,
You are the one, anybody else I would not stand,
And before my heart shatters,
Because of you, nothing else matters...

I know that you have it quoted and all but you really need to write somewhere that the lyrics above belong to Metallica. Anyways... other than that.. this piece was very nice. Well done.

First off let me state that I liked how you used Metailica's lyrics to Nothing else Matters at the beginning of the poem and wrote from there. This is such a lovely piece! It's deep and the flow was amazing. Thank you for entering it into my contest! Best of luck!

Adorable
Reminds me of young love. That first and intense feeling that causes our hearts to ache with job. Enjoyed the way you incorporated "nothing else matters", very effective.

This is brilliantly executed. I must say this is quite a realistic piece. Direct, honest, and absolutely emotive.
