Poetry: Love & despair

by SFLynne

Created on: March 01, 2009

The power that pulls me to you seems as though it will never lessen, the more strength I use to fight it, the more it seems to grow;




Avoidance is one way I know my wish will come true, and though I've tried this many times our paths do suddenly gross, and when this happens a little bit inside of me dies, and all that I've worked for comes tumbling down in front of me;




I look down at the shattered pieces of fortress I've been so carefully creating the days we've been apart, my heart feels as if it too lies a top the crumbled fragments, it also split into a million pieces amongst the rumble that now surrounds my feet;




My tears begin slowly and I run and hide so you will not see these tears I cry are for you, when I reach my place of escape the tears fall repetitively from my eyes, they continue to fall until your image is a fragment of my imagination;




I dry my eyes and start once again to build the space I want so much between us, I'll keep doing this until the segments become so great in strength that you, nor anyone else will ever be able to go beyond them;




It is here I will stand, from the inside looking out, I shall make a vow that never again will anyone make me crawl and never again will anyone pull me to my knees, and never again will anyone make me feel the way you did, I will teach myself to avoid all pain that may arise if I should choose to step from behind my looking glass.
