Here I stand almost a year later,
Standing just twenty-four days from the day
When all my greatest dreams came true.
Christmas eve...
I was yours, and only yours,
The look on your face that first day
I saw you when I got back on New Year's Day.
The true love and sincerity in your eyes,
What happened to that boy?
The boy that used to care...?
The year went by as if I was driving in the left lane,
Three hundred and sixty-five days of endless devotion,
Of never ending tears and mountains of stress.
I gave you all of my time,
All of my life and everything I had to give.
And it's been a month
Since I've even looked into your locking gaze.
Finally using my thievish abilities
To pick the lock of your gaze from my heart.
Breaking the shackles you kept me in and
Locked away deep inside my own darkness.
Running out into the light,
I could finally feel the breath of air
And life flow straight through my veins
All the way down to the tips of my toes.
After a month of bathing in the sun,
I realized that I left something truly important
Deep down inside the darkness you held me in.
You...
It seems that no matter how far
I push my heart away from the gravity of yours,
I always seem to come rushing back to you.
I come running back to fall upon my knees
And keep you from falling under.
I want to be your cloud that keeps you afloat.
And I always find myself in the shadow of the eclipse,
Locked again once in the darkness
And out of the shining sun.
I'm always here,
Always running around in the darkness,
Running and trampling over my own heart.
But no matter what,
No matter who,
No matter how,
...It's always back to you...

Beatuifully Written
Such a beautiful write. The words flow easily together and let pictures form within our own minds and hearts. The imagery and words you used to describe the poem left so much emotion welling up inside. Almost reminded me of one of my own relationships.

Just goes to show that there is always a little bit of someone left with the one they shared so much with. I guess the more people you give yourself to, the more you lose yourself. Now it's the matter of finding and building yourself again.
I love the poem. It really touched me. The words are perfectly penned. x
