In Darkness Sleeps

A poem I wrote reflecting my conflicting feelings towards a girl who returns the feelings, but wishes to stay faithful to her boyfriend. A work in progress, but we all gotta start somewhere

In darkness sleeps a troubled mind

In silence breeds my fears

In loneliness my bane doth stir

To drag you away from this heart of mine



It steals away my precious gem

It leaves behind an empty shell

It shatters my hope, my desires

This pain will never mend

I cast my wish into the fire

As I fight this last battle

'Tis you I desire for the rest of my life

Will you grant my last desire?

As I watch my hopes, my dreams burn

I think of what we had

You gave me hope, when all was lost

For someone like you, I yearn

Outside it may be cold,

And bitter, and dark,

Your love will still shine,

Brighter than any gold

I will always cherish the times we shared

The laughs we had, the warmth I felt

I have found in you a love so strong

A love I feel, that I never dared

Because of you, I am free

Because of you, I'm not scared

I thank you for all you have done

I am glad that I met thee

Fate, it seems, has other plans

And we were not meant to be

I only hope that it be kind to me

And I find The One, with whom I too can dance...
