The boy next door he came to be
The man I sought but couldn't see
Ignored the feelings that grew inside
Kept on saying you’ll never find
Selfless comfort, warmth or trust
Only heartache, misery and lust
Let you in once than pulled you away
Tried to leave then, but decided to stay
When dusk turned to dawn
My body gave way
My mind finally sighed
When I heard him say
Three words I had longed to hear
Wrapped up, embraced, void of fear
My soul wept
Rapture not sorrow
Cascading,
Descending,
When the sun of tomorrow
Peered out of the sky
He kissed my tears so tender
One of many, endless goodbyes

She did show it to me, and it made me feel very special. I was supposed to write one for her but I am a lazy ass and she is writing this for me because I suck large!!

Wow. This was indeed flawless. But I'm not speechless and I mean that in a good way
I hate when people leave little ickle comments that just says "great job" or "good write" PAH! I'm going to tell you exactly what I liked about it.
First of all, there's the fact that I can relate very well to it. And I like the idea of when is known as beautiful to the human eye, might no be so beautiful to the human soul. Anyone can hurt, no matter how "perfect" they are made out to be. The point is, people hurt people and don't care if they do it again and I like the way you captured that. Well done. Good write and keep it up
