PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel so confused,
torn between what I want
and what I've fought so long to hang onto.

He was always my best friend,
my brother, nothing more.

I was happy with that,
I told myself it was easier that way.

I fought so hard to keep myself happy,
to remember that what I was fighting for
was worth spending my life doing.

But we got further apart and I denied
our growing distance.

I promised him my life, myself,
but had to walk away yet again.

It never seems to fail,
I get close to someone, then end up
walking away, fighting back tears.

Everyone I've ever known seems to have left,
or I've left them.

Each time a part of my heart is
broken, each time another tear falls.

Tell me what to do,
I want to try again but how,
when there's such a dark shadow haunting me.

Chase away my nightmares,
kiss away my tears,
and hold me close.

But never let me go, don't give up on me,
no matter how hard I fight you, stay with me.
