It's Been A Long Time
written by CrzyAnml666612:09 PM 2/26/05Daybreak,
Once again I watch as
The sun creeps over the horizon
Slowly, with a menacing fashion.
Overcome with that familiar feeling, I sigh.
It showers me with its antagonizing rays,
Portraying nothing but false pretenses.
Yet another realization...
Another eternity I prevail.
I feel the hands of despair
Grip tightly
How will I ever break free?
Would you deny me the air in my lungs?
In a humane sense, no.
Yet without you I have no existence
You are the air I breathe,
The blood that circulates
Throughout me.
Hard and fast I fall,
Back into reality's
Cold and barren embrace.
It welcomes with me
A distanced illusion.
You've taken flight
Off on a journey
To seek answers,
To the questions you behold.
Every day I witness
As you soar I smile
How beautiful it is
To watch you transcend.
With my head held high,
A tear in my eye,
I know you will be all right.
The tear is hot
With one quick swoop
It falls,
Searing the skin beneath
That only guided its way.
I wonder why.
It was meant to be this way,
They say
But they don't know
A brush of the hand
A stolen glance
Overrated?
Never
Merely taken for granted.
Isn't love supposed to hurt?
Two souls connected
The unspoken words,
Mutual understanding
Why does it come and go?
The piercing
Of the arrow to the heart.
Appreciation is they key
The rest a mere memory.
And so,
This thing we call life,
Continues on
An endless,
Uphill battle
Just what are we fighting for?
Reciprocation?
It's a fallacy.
Two lives merged,
Heart and soul
Torn apart
By sounds and syllables.
Does the mind conceive emotion?
That oh so powerful force,
Ruling over, always.
Regret
Unavoidable!
They say it helps to evolve.
Indeed, I have watched you grow.
Strong and healthy,
Invincible, even.
Your roots are fearless
And uncontainable
Spreading like wildfire
In a desert wasteland,
But they have been detached.
No longer are you there
My lifeline
Vanished
Memories,
The secrets held close
In the night, come to life,
Sprung on me with undying force.
I want to escape
From this grip but I can't
Immobilized and locked by
Their each and every entanglement.
I call out to you
Only to suffocate in disappointment,
The bombardment of that echo.
The hollow,
Empty sound of a voice,
A voice that remains unanswered
A heart left to bleed.
Crippled with grief, I crawl
Into the shadows.
The only sound.
The beating of my heart,
It's deafening!
Make it stop
Please, make it stop!
The sunlight now permanently masked
By the impending malice of the cloud
Of your mere memory.
This is not how it should have been.
I see your silhouette
Soaring through the skies
You cast a glance downward
Momentarily, our eyes lock.
And then it happens.
This grieving chamber skips a beat.
Could this be real?
Could this be true?
You, this amazing creature
Uninhibited, beautiful, up in the canvas of blue.
I cry out, with arms stretched wide.
I cannot let you forget
There's too much in the balance!
As you approach,
Dizziness overwhelms
I try to look up but am blinded.
The rays you secrete
Are that of pure enlightenment.
You are so close,
I can almost reach you.
No matter how I try,
I can't get to you.
Sadness and frustration
Drowning me
With a fierce undertow;
Pulling me down
Beneath the lonely waters.
I'm alone again
Fighting for the chance to survive;
Fighting for the chance to love again.
Again, this once content being's heart
Beats alone.
I thrash around
Trying to avoid the inevitable.
I'm going under.
The mystical hands
Are beckoning me from within.
Defeat is near.
Exhaustion is bearing the embrace.
All the while I think of you.
I call out the eternal promises we made.
I will not give up; I just can't.
The love bursting
From deep within me
Out every way it can;
The chains fall free.
The road to my heart
Is a passage that's clear.
The water turns warm
The clouds part.
I smile.
It's been a long time
Since I have done that
Tears of happiness
Almost drown me in elation.
I look up towards the sky
You are still at a distance;
But I can feel your soul again.
I direct a wave of love
So great up into the air, up your way.
Though the wind now picks up.
It is always in your power to grasp it. |
