Angelic Vision

Folder: 
For My Twin

It's been 19 years and you're still not here,

And everyday it gets harder for me to hold back these tears.

I'm so stacked with fears- And I've already failed,

It's like a wise man once said- My ship has sailed.

My life's been a tale- And it almost seems fiction,

But it's all happened so fast that it's hard to give a description.

But the encryption in my mind- Tells a story that's unknown,

Everyday I think things are gonna change- And everyday I'm wrong.

I thought you were gonna help me- But I'm still traveling alone,

I haven't felt you around in a while- The last time seems so long.

Ago- and I know- That you're watching me as I pray,

But it seems that you don't hear me- Are you listening to what I say.

I'm struggling, I'm dying, I need you- Cuz I'm lost,

To live is to suffer and love is pain- Just hang me on the cross.

Because of all the things I've sought- I'd give it all up for you,

Just so you could have your chance- And do all the things I failed to do.

I miss you, I am you- I'm so different from everyone else,

My thoughts are twisted but my mind is gifted- In reality I'm killing myself.

July 27th, the day the curse started- You were already departed,

I was born without you- I entered the world halfhearted.

But everyday it gets harder- And everyday I miss you more,

It seems impossible to keep going- When Life keeps closing doors.

I close my eyes and I picture you- An Angelic replica of me,

It's the only way I envision you- So it's the only picture I see.

It makes it a little bit easier- Even though it never lasts very long,

It soothes my mind and calms my worries- Because for that quick instant,

I'm not alone.

I'm taking the chance to read the poems that I've read before but this one must of flew past me and I dont know how....I always find tears filling my eyes as I read the things that you write but then I also find strength and encouragement. Your a beautiful writer and poet but even better than that a beautiful person....! I just wanted to let you know that I felt the emotion you put in this one more than the rest but know that your unborn brother has always been there to ease your pain....I know of ur situation but I take from it love! Keep ya head up and stay strong...Live life for you and him because I know he would want you to.

With Deep Words,
