"Do not hide behind the image of who you wish to be, or you will lose sight of who you once were."


With the pieces of my wounded heart
I fly to the safety of your arms
With the tranquility of a flowing river
I listen to your steady breath
With the passion of a pianist
I take in your comforting words

No I am not ready to share the love
That has always illuminated from the adoration of your eyes,
The patience of your voice,
The gentleness of your caress 

But one day, when my vibrant soul returns with open arms
And my love is longing to spread it's wings, 

I fully trust that you will await me

My knight, my savior, my rock, my shoulder

Just wait,
Please wait, just a little longer

My heart is torn,
But your shining love is stitching it back together

My mind is tormented with misery,
But your caring words ease it

My body is desperate the touch I long,
But your gentle hands hold me

And throughout all this blinding pain and misery,
I bask in your glowing love, Despite my futile attempts to end, in you there is hope.

In you is the future of my love

In you is the light of my soul

In you is the key to my caged heart, oh my future lover


The author's comments:
I recently read a book called Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book showed me how much of an effect people have on one another, and how we can change someone's life without even meaning to do so. Jay's book inspired me to write this poem, a poem of a woman who has lost everything, including her fiancee, and her life is gradually turning into a chaotic, confusing mess, not unlike some of us. Then a man helps her, supports her, and she tells how much she appreciates him, how he alone supplied her hope of a brighter future, and how one day she will be able to love again. We all have an impact and can make a difference. We have the ability to destroy one's life, or lend a helping hand.
