The first time I met you,
It was like judging a book by its cover,
Since then, I've come to know,
You were hurt by a lover.

I misjudged you at first,
Taking you to be like most men,
Even though I had no idea,
Of where your life has been.

Now being exposed to the truth,
I can't help how strong my feelings are,
The need to be with you is present,
To heal your heart's scar.

When I see you through my eyes,
I see a man that has been broken,
Your soul speaks to my own,
In a way no one has ever spoken.

I want to be the one,
To show you how it can change,
I want to be the person,
with whom your thoughts exchange.

It won't be an easy task,
To get through your walls,
But know that I'll be here,
To save you when it falls.

I cannot explain the reasons,
For why I tell you so,
But I couldn't forgive myself,
If I never let you know.

As too many days have passed,
With several things left unsaid,
Today is the day I share with you,
the thoughts inside my head.

Lost within my transcending mind,
Seeking the answers for questions unknown,
Indecisive thoughts soak in confusion,
Aimlessly continuing within my human nature.

Awareness grasps my undying sensitivity,
Combining factors fuse into chaos within,
As healing patterns face destruction,
Behaviours revert to those once lost.

Wavering between serenity and insanity,
For my unfailing hope of peace,
Eased through impatience by courtesy of vices,
Sparking creativity and strong perspectives.

Pondering over knowledge newly admitted,
Resentment fills my every thought,
For this love recently departed with,
Haunts my every waking, lonely moment.

Her eyes are a pure soft green,
The window into her soul,
Her beauty shines beyond mother nature,
Peering in, brings a feeling of whole.

Each emotion that we embrace,
Are visible as she stands still,
The intensity exceeds all comprehension,
Dazed into ecstasy minus the pill.

Tragedy marks its place upon her,
Wearing away her supple youth,
Her strength devours her pain,
Exiling any hints of the truth.

Though her presence is overwhelming,
She suffers a pain unbearable to all,
She weeps in utter mourning,
As death casts a shadow so tall.

Isolated beyond the perimeters forsaken,
Torn by her desire to be fed with life,
Slowly piece by piece she is taken,
Roughly cut away with a dull knife.

Though she knows hope it is lost to her,
For the facts overpower her silly thoughts,
Cursed with a lack of love for beauty,
For all the wrong things she sought.

I hate that you can hurt me,
Without even speaking a word,
I hate that I still love you,
This is absolutely absurd.

I wish I could forget,
Even the good times we had,
Cause then I wouldn't feel this pain,
It wouldn't be so bad.

I am willing to erase,
The passionate nights we shared,
I am willing to admit,
That you never truly cared.

I can face the fact,
That our love was one-sided,
But I cannot face the fact,
That in you, I confided.

I feel this horrible regret,
For ever letting you in,
For you this is just a game,
Congratulations, you win!

I know it doesn't end there,
If it did, I wouldn't be writing,
But know that I'll come out of this,
Stronger and still fighting.

Unexpectedly, you appear late in the night,
There we met, in such a random location,
Before me you stood, speaking in many ways,
Through your eyes - a glimpse into your heart.

My attraction quickly increased for you,
My own heart captured by your innocence,
Your sweet ways understood by words,
Paired with excitement, my curiousity grew.

Seizing the chance to embrace you,
Delighted with your passionate results,
Intrigued by your shining personality,
Creating an imprint - uniquely fitting.

Amazed by your understanding of similarities,
Grateful to find relief within our conversations,
Thankful for life's unexpected opportunities,
Appreciating the pleasure of your acquaintance.

Your heart smiles upon bitter love,
Infinitely filled with good intentions,
Consumed by guilt for righteous actions,
Accepting responsibility of others pain.

Truly hoping that love smiles back,
Such a soul should be blessed greatly,
Wishing success for you in all paths,
Believing you will achieve your desires.

Pacing on sore, cut skin of feet,
With every step I trespass,
Here amongst the enemy layers,
Trapped in this small prison.

Tortured by the pain of betrayal,
Enraged at the abandonment,
Sick with hate for her choices,
Now awaiting the unknown.

Pondering with every second,
While sipping on red sanity,
Disbelief of our position,
Yet attempting to survive.

Ruined by sheer desperation,
Lacking the hope of new,
Continuing blindly through,
Grasping every bit of strength.
