My Poems

Battle

When we are together
When we are

Together.

The world transcends anew as the fire from my breast blossoms to stretch out it's thorns to ensnare your heart,
But it's with a twist that you fly away from my reaching hands,
And with it the fake sorrow that is plastered drooping in your face,
Even as the sweat crowds around your eyes,
Swallowing the tears,
You reach for me,
A leg trembles and cracks beneath you as you trip into the hard surface called a dance floor,
And while I may love you, and you hate me,
I will never be sorry for the pain I have caused you,
Or the love,
While we dance to a broken song,
Trip to the jig, that the music pits us against each other,
I can't help but love every second on that stage with you,
When your eyes shine with faux love,
For you only play the part you have practiced,
And as we age in this eternal dance,
I hope you will come to forgive me,
And in this moment,
I remember the sweet nothings we had,
Of the rose petals that filled our ears,
And colored our eyes,
And I remember the wave of shock when you came home too early,

My thorns have dulled from the lack of use,
And the pain that seeps out of your pores as we dance together,
It buried us in this hollow feeling,
A feeling of what could have been,
Should have been,
If not for our mistakes.

I will reach for you always, and you will always pull away,
If I have no other hold in life to you,
Then let it be this,
The tide and sea.
Hold me at night,
where my only comfort is the pillow,
And let me remember  the you that loved me.

Let me follow you in this oblivion and constant shadow of our "favorite" song,
And dance with you even when you won't look my way,
Won't you let me stay in the broken heart you have made your own?
Let me fix it for you as I used to when you were home,
Let me take you into me,
Let me free,
Forgive me.
