As the rain washed into the sands.
I stood up against the waves.
How can I keep my balance this day,
with the scent of your blood on my hands.
And I wander this path still unsure.
Each new step a memory
I plan to let fade,
Cause it's all to hard to endure.
Maybe leavings an honest mistake.
But I tangle myself in the lie.
Cause you held the truth,
I wasn't ready to take.
I've been blind all my life to love.
It's not something I'm proud of,
but what can I say,
when push comes to shove.
I scream out her name in the night,
for she's all that I'm dreaming,
and all that I long,
to again show me light.
I never had a reason to smile,
but I found it there in her eyes.
It's not like love ain't shining through.
I just didn't think i was worthwhile.
So darling please show me your soul.
I'm begging for leniance,
And I hunger for your touch.
and sit stirring my empty bowl.
I take back those things that I said,
yeah they hurt I know it,
I won't even pretend
But you know the mess in my head.
So I sank to my knees and pleaded for lies
Say that you love me, and you're willing to stay.
Cause I can't sleep this night or next.
Till the light of the moon fills the skies.

I miss you.

Wow. I'd have to say this is my fav stanza out of the whole poem "I never had a reason to smile, but I found it there in her eyes. It's not like love ain't shining through. I just didn't think i was worthwhile." It just resounded with me, in fact the whole poem did, I could feel the anguish. Beautifully written, keep it up.

Great!
Centaurs of the Holy Ghost, Batman! That was riveting! I really understand what you mean when you say that you miss her. I used to miss my ex like something else, but now I don't care anymore and have become numb. I really liked it, keep up the good work!
