This is the most amazing feeling ever,
knowing that wherever I go,
there you'll be. Sitting, standing, walking,
following me for all my life.
To know that this is somewhere I belong,
a safe haven, a sanctuary of the utmost love and care,
a hardcore addict's heaven, a candyfloss land for
the lovesick fools. You're not deluding me.
You always bring me back,
you never let me down, you're the last solid
chain holding me down to the ground.
I know you'll always be there for me.
You bring out the best in me,
and quell all my fears and anxieties alike.
You're the only one I turn to, in all times and needs,
and you're always there, an eternal presence.
You're the fire in my gut,
the stardust in my blood
and I am who I am
because of you.

Well, for me God fits this description. I hope you find a title for this piece soon!
I like it, it was very sweet, and very well paced and it really works. I don't know why but it really just flows nicely. Well done!
You really used great words, you described each feeling really well, and didn't complicate it either. So well done, and good luck in my contest!

Beautiful!
What a great emotion packed poem! Very good wording, flow and subject! I like this poem, because I can really identify with it! You do need a title that fits, I think! How about "You're the fire?" The last line is just perfect!

Thanks for your comment! (will look into finding a suitable title probably.. )

Great write that expresses such a deeply personal connection that until seeing your chosen prompt word, could easily be taken for love of another person. Ultimately it works well to detail your passion for the craft that has united most of us on this site - sadly some are not here just for the poetry. Connects with readers on multiple levels - well done.
