Poem 1
A Simple Poem
This is my first attempt at ever writing a poem. A friend of mine encouraged me to try and write it.
And the inspiration behind it was another friend of mine. So I dedicated it to that person...the only "special dork" i know. ;)
Each night before I drift to sleep
I think of you and all we`ve said.
I think back on the time you realized my feelings for you
And a tingling feeling runs up and down my spine
As I remember realizing the truth of your feelings for me.
The memory of your voice,
The memory of your words,
Each is held forever in my heart.
As these thoughts flow through my mind,
I also see glimpses of my life before you.
I was trapped in the regrets and mistakes of my past
I was slowly spiraling downhill
Into a life that would have lost all feelings of happiness and love,
But then one day my life was changed.
I was no longer losing myself,
Losing myself to a world where emotion held no meaning.
Don`t you see?
You saved me from that,
Saved me from living the rest of my life as an empty shell.
That was what I was.
I was empty, there was no way else to describe it.
The pain and hurt I felt ate away at the rest of my emotions,
At my very soul.
The only way my heart knew how to save me was to…shut down.
It kept me from feeling anything.
Any emotion conveyed on my face was nothing,
Without a heart to truly feel it.
Life grew meaningless.
I went through it,
Without seeing anything,
Hearing anything,
Feeling anything…
But when you came into my life
All that has changed.
The world became a wonderful place again.
I understood once more what joy felt like.
Because of you my eyes, the windows to my soul, can see past the grief and misery that clouds them,
into the vast, tranquil skies of a world of peace and joy.
You became my guide.
You showed me that there will always be someone there
to hold my hand down life`s azure skies or its clouds of fury.
You became my confidante.
I turned to you with all my regrets of the past,
confusions of the present, and hopes for the future.
You became my comforter,
Consoling me in all my miseries when I had no one to turn to.
Most importantly, from the minute you stepped into my life, you became a friend.
Someone I could share my joys with,
Someone I could cry my tears with and never feel ashamed,
A person I could trust always and never feel any doubts,
And a person who would always stop to listen when all I spoke was nonsense.
You have been this to me and so much more.
My friend, you have led my soul soaring back to me on wings of silver.
And my heart is once again flowing with sweet emotion...
