PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m not asking for your permission

To carry you forever in my heart

I’m not even asking you to know

There is no need for it to be told

That’s why I rather write this

And bury it in my mind

Where no one can take what I dare to hold forever

I don’t expect you to understand

You don’t have to give back anything

I’m not even asking you to care

Cause this is a fulfillment to myself

I can’t deny these feelings I’ve felt

Emotions that still run thru my veins

That give my heart reasons to beat

Give these lungs reasons to breathe

It’s the only thing that hasn’t changed

Over time and over the seasons

Even though I never chose this

I now choose to feel

I choose to hold on to

To something that remains true

My backs not against the wall

I just won’t walk

I could well ignore this

But I rather not

Cause this is a matter of my want

I’m not asking you to save me

Cause you already have

In more ways than you know

Live your life and smile Hon

That’s all I’m asking

That’s all I need
