Poem #6 by KiritoandAsuna1111

To have had love and let it go, 

guilt residing within me, 

you reap what you sow,

The midnight promises left unsaid, 
Drowning in anguish, 

my soul filled with dread,

I often worry of others, 

forgetting myself, 
Putting myself through an unbearable hell,

I loved her so, my darling dear,

Happiness on a far mountain,
whose voice I could not hear, 

Often pondering "Of all the souls why me?!"

Longing for love, 

searches resulting in grief,

Is there really someone out there, meant for me?

If so I wonder, just who could it be?

I don't know when, and if I'll find her in my life,

But it would sure be nice to find an escape from this strife,

Toying with my emotions, making a game of my heart,
Stroking as if by paintbrush, like some demented art,

The hardest journey in life, to find someone to share it with,

is an unyielding road, sometimes mistaken for myth,

Each and every obstacle, standing in your way,

Attempting to overcome them, hoping for the day,

The day you find someone to hold dear,
In both mind and heart, they'll always be near,

A permanent home, in which they're always welcome,

Pain and sorrow remaining always seldom,

Keep on fighting and never give in,

Someday someone will see to it you win,

And when that day comes you'll look back and smile, and think to

yourself "It was all worthwhile"
