Drifting to sleep,
watching the way my heart cries
when I realize that
the carefully held desperation
slowly burns almost unnoticeable holes
through the increasingly weakened illusion
of the strong silence that once held me together.

Grasping for the love,
the only reason for my purest dedication
to the elimination of the void
that kept me from becoming
who I never thought I should be
until I was blindly forced to see
what my love unconditionally gave to me.

Needing to feel the power,
the unbelievable captivation for
someone who would never slip away from
my mistakenly careless grasp
and holds me at his mercy
like a hopelessly withdrawn addict,
fighting for his love.

Through all the careless acts,
for which I felt immediate and hidden remorse,
my love willingly and passionately stands by my side
and patiently waits for the moments
when my selfish pride allows me
to hopelessly attempt to show my undying gratitude
to him for being the greatest reason
for my existence.
