PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know...

I know it's too petty of me,

Too childish,

Too selfish...



But I simply can't help it

I hate it

It scares me

Distance is my worst enemy...



Illusions enter my thoughts

They poison my brain

They make every memory deteriorate

Over time



And I'm stuck

With this empty feeling

As if there was a hole

Somewhere where my heart should be



Like a gap

That aches

With every

Breath



From the heart

That beats

Only

For him



And so is it really wrong

To think I miss him?

That

I truly wish he is near?



Is it wrong

To feel suffering

While he's

So far away?



So why

Have I become

So dependent

On him?



It's my fault

And always will be

Because I've let myself

Fall this deep



It's like a spell

An unbreakable trance

Captivated me

In his passionate chains of desire



So what is it?

Is it truly love which I seek?

Or just plain desire

That I lust?



And yet

I'm willing to

Risk it all

My entire future



Just to be

With the only person

My heart

Aches for this much



I'm willing to

Face everything

That will come

My way



Everything

That threatens

My very

Existance.



Because

I'm willing

To live

The dreamer's tragedy



I'm willing

To sacrifice my life

And follow on

Their footsteps...



And I'll hope

That this time

My fate

Wont be the same as theirs...



Instead,

I'll strive to live

I'll live and grow old

And survive the distance...



I'll continue living

Not only for me

But for those souls

Who were cheated of this chance.
