Desolated Poet Apr 2016
The moment I knew that I had to love you more than how much love could be given was the moment I saw your eyes filled with passion; too focused, too driven.

You had your heart on your sleeve and I always had mine on guard
But with you the walls have been broken down, it seemed
I let it, even though it was hard.


In this world of chaos where everybody is a lost soul, I had to
promise myself to keep you happy, just to make you whole.

Angels and demons have been at it for a while.
Wondering what love is and what love does.
But baby I have known love since the moment our hands held each other
I lost me and you lost you; and ever since then, there was only an "us".


With a before there is always an after
you were whole again; never to be ruined, never to be shattered.
I had to remind myself that you weren't obliged to return the favor
love was never about reciprocality or what you lay on the table,
love was always just about loving and being able.
Able to understand that what's meant to be, will be.
Able to know that wild hearts should be set free.

And my love, you have the wildest heart in this world of art.
I will always be grateful that it's you who I've let my guard down for
These wounds are trophies for the battles we've gone through.
But now that the war is over, you are now your own soldier.


The moment I knew that I had to let you go was the moment I saw your eyes filled things I could not hold; too full of desire,too filled with fire.

I know you love me but I'm scared to be burned again.
I lost myself in the process of fixing you and now I don't  know what to do.
So if I let you go, I'm sorry, my love, but I had to.

— The End —
