Hope was evident in my heart when it began, but as time passed, the only thing I did was ran, dreams grew dim and friends fell away, helping me was not a price that they wished to pay, left alone I still stoof strong in my mind, trying to remember how it was before, my heart to remind, people came and tred to to break me down, but in the end it was only you who could make me frown, everything I gave to you and everything I wanted to, was not enough, which in my heart was nothing new, time has passed since I've learned of your hatred towards me, yet still deep inside I feel like the chance is there, it could still be, everyone told me I was blind to hold fast my dream, but I held on, believing it could stop my heart's horrid scream, it called out for you and and only you throughout the year, wanting one thing and only one thing, and that was you my dear, you finally know what I finally wanted you to know now, bbut you do not seem to care, and I ask how? Can't you see I've given my heart and everything else to you? Saying that I will never lie and always be true, but alas, I am not waht you search for and am nothing more, but you still are my angel, this one that I prize and adore, I know I can never call you mine, so I turn and hide, yet how can I live on without you standing by my side? Without you I am just a hollow shell of nothing and pain, engulfed in the darkness, my flames' been kindered in the rain, please look into my eyes for just this time to see, you mean everything in the entire world to me, all the world's gold and silver I would give away, just to know you were mine and would always stay, you are more precious to me than all the diamonds in the sky, believe me when I speak my words, for to you, I would never lie, I need you love to live on in this fragile world I am in, again I will tell you my affection for you, but where to begin, I've spoken my peace, but now it is up to you, please be mine, and I shall always love only you...
Reason for writing:
This is a poem about lost love and how we can hold on to somebody even after they've shown that they don't feel the same, nor do they intend to ever... I used a girl that I care for very deeply as a model for this, because I cared very much for her, but she didn't seem to feel the same...
