Bare footed steps of child like innocence
echo through my mind as a sickening reminder
that I walk through each night, alone.
Droplets of memories reflecting smiles filled
with the warm love of past embraces,
sing a drip drop of tragedy down
into my heart, painting the color of
my soul.
I crushed the bright dreams of love
everlasting, eternal happiness and
the stuff valentine's cards are made
of in-between my small hands.
To fall like shattered glass against the
dirty floor that is my world.
Mocking me with shards of kisses,
roses, and sweet whispers of nothing.
With every step I take, a choking
desire to feel all that I despise creeps
up from my chest into my throat, like
a snake hissing words of passion, with
a hint of betrayal so enticing.
And I wonder, will I ever meet him?
The man who's love runs just as pure
and deep as my own. Who could
love me with the fury of honesty and
the sincerity of loyalty.
The night only gets darker, as I continue
to walk alone, sneering into the world
with a secret desire, for a comforting
familiar hand to hold. One that I would
never let go.
Rip the mask of hate from my face,
drown my screams of anger in soft
words of compassion. Stand by my
side in this puzzle of life, hop scotch
through the missing pieces with me.
Walk on my path through the flames of
lessons learned, step with me on the coals
of mistakes made.
Drink fuel from the cup of things to come,
then gamble with a kiss on futures unknown.
I promise I won't ever let you get burnt.
Author notes
I am honest. I am loyal. Once I'm your friend, or even your lover. I will be so unless you ask otherwise. I would destroy the world for those I call my own. And if I couldn't accomplish it, I would die with pride, shameless trying. The only problem with that is, I don't have anyone but myself, and when I think I've found someone to call my equal, they prove less then worthy. I only wish to find someone as fierce and sure of their feelings as I, myself am.

Strong
Powerful emotions run right thru' your words and yet one senses a gentleness behind the power. To seek out love nobody can win but to wait for love to seek you out ...... that is a different story. Loved this write thank you.

feelings of hate and anger at the past of which may have fucked you over leads to a wanting of happiness, but a vasawd of strength and wanting loneliness cover your truth. i love it because as deep and thought provoking as this is i think alot of others could sympathize.
or i could be way off lol hopefully not, but in any case i really enjoyed this.
