And forever
Will be the one cause;
And all because never
Did I ever pause to hear
What you to say, and had I
Used my ears, I would have known your fear;
I need you so much I can’t let you go -
But I didn’t listen, and now if you die,
I don’t know how I’ll continue on by myself;
Alone in this place that is so odd to my senses;
Strange colors float through insipid skies full of dark trenches;
Aspersions thrown at me from the menacing landscape engulf
My thoughts with a sense of dread… all I can think of is you…
However, you’re holding on by a splinter I knew
You would find, and now if I follow my senses
I can rescue and bring you back from the brink;
I‘ll then have to lower my defenses,
And to you I must form a new link,
So again in me you may trust,
And together continue
Through this, this land of rust
And dust, on because
I know just who
I once was.

I Once Was

Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I once was,
And forever
Will be the one cause;
And all because never
Did I ever pause to hear
What you to say, and had I
Used my ears, I would have known your fear;
I need you so much I can’t let you go -
But I didn’t listen, and now if you die,
I don’t know how I’ll continue on by myself;
Alone in this place that is so odd to my senses;
Strange colors float through insipid skies full of dark trenches;
Aspersions thrown at me from the menacing landscape engulf
My thoughts with a sense of dread… all I can think of is you…
However, you’re holding on by a splinter I knew
You would find, and now if I follow my senses
I can rescue and bring you back from the brink;
I‘ll then have to lower my defenses,
And to you I must form a new link,
So again in me you may trust,
And together continue
Through this, this land of rust
And dust, on because
I know just who
I once was.

A cute little dark forboding poem that pinches your arm in the middle of the night while your dreaming and wakes you up to be read again.
