What Have I Done?

I can't love you Saturday
and forget about us Sunday.
I can't live this split life
knowing you're only a half.

I can't run with tied feet
grounded to my deep roots
This tree that raised me
gave me shade, gave me life...

One foot in the dirt,
one wing in the clouds.
So I've lost my footing
and gravity couldn't keep me.

I'm beyond it all now;
way up there with you.
It's just you and me now,
But we are free. And loved.

I can't wait to feel sunshine.
I can't wait for the peace.
Too young for all of it.
Too terrified to even think.

The reward will be sweet.
The consequences - few.
If I keep following my heart
and holding you close.

We're white hot with passion
a burning need for the other
Bottomless beautiful black eyes
paired with gentle ocean green

What have I done?
I've loved you like a fire
and felt the reflected power
Now, I'm dancing in the flames.

    wow, kind of leaves me speechless this poem...I've never been able to write metaphorically, you have great talent, it's good you embrace your heart on Allpoetry, what would we do without it?

    Definitely Wow...

    Know exactly what you're talking about, so I suppose that helps the meaning of the poem. Very good job Madison, and I know you'll figure out what to do.

    sounds like love

    this feels like a real story.. as real as they come... so if it is id like to know what has actually happened so i can understand all the symbolism metaphors and beautiful imagery better. i love it how it is... i would tell you not to change a thing. the last verse is my favorite... keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
