Knives and Why I Hate Tiled Floors

Folder: 
Romance

The end of the road is near, and the cliff into our forever casts a dark shadow that hides the dangerous ground below,

Making us naive to the fact that just a few wrong turns could make us grow,
Apart, hiding the things we sought the most from the very start, 
And throwing our deepest desires down that cliff; off the charts.
 
It's up to us now, to move forward and never look back,
To replenish from all the bumps in the road we've faced and continue our forever race through space,
Just to prove to humanity that true love really does exist,
All because nobody ever thought that they would see a love like this.
 
As an evanescent gleam in your eye sparks the first fire in my imagination, I struggle to find the coals,
But what I didn't realize, that the first place the fire flickered, was in my heart, the one place where things once elementary never grew old,
And I think it's about time that you be told,
That a simple frown, can turn the warm sunshine out cold, no matter how many times I give you my hand to hold.
 
So I think it's time I ask you, because every day I think back to,
All the times I was lost and needed to found; the days before I had you,
Why does just one smile, make my sun shine a little more,
And why can just one frown, make me wind up with a knife in my wrist, begging for mercy from God on the kitchen floor? 
 
So now I have to ask myself, how high do I put that on my shelf?
The smiles and frowns, from the one who restored me back to health,
Isn't it ironic how now, God is giving me things that I never had before,
But they're every single little thing, that I've always been asking for.
 
They say that sometimes, you just have to put yourself in full gear and keep on going,
But that's a bit difficult, if you don't have the slightest clue where you'll end up, and you're driving unknowing,
But isn't it the best feeling, when you learn you don't even have to open the car door,
Because God has already blessed you with everything you sought for, and you could never want any more.
 
The final conflict of this story, is jumping into the cliff, and embracing your pride, or staying back to hide, because you're terrified, and it's scary inside,
But you have to ask yourself, is your love really worth putting aside on the shelf, or does it need to be embraced?
And is the risk worth taking, even if the warm sunshine turns cold, and your head is the only thing shaking, all for the chance of being with the one you love the most, in that one special happy place.
 
You made the storm clouds spread apart, and the preceding rainbow finally made it clear to see,
The true reason I love you, and why I'm so blessed that you're a part of me, 
You led me down my true path of righteousness, when the only direction I was heading was astray,
And you came into my life, and gave it color, fading it from its usual gray, and you showed me how to look forward to tomorrow, without dwelling on the events of today.
 
Forever, our love will continue to stand the tests of time,
Because we are one soul, and one heart, eternally intertwined,
My very last breath, will be used to tell you that I love you,
Because soon after that last contribution to this earth, I will finally become the angel that soars above you.
