Back for More

I used to be a ad little man
I used to cry constantly
I used love without measure
I used plead with God for the one mortal soul I could truly call friend

You have ignited something dark in me
You have taught me that not everything is a challenge
and sometimes we must fall short of our lofty goals
You have shown me that even without the aid of a creator we can laugh
You are one mortal soul I can truly call friend

I wish I understood more about why we are here
I wish I knew what it is I'm meant to do
I wish she would have loved me
I wish I was the man I aim to someday be

You are a poet
A lyricist and creator of elegantly penned worlds
I am a crafter of words
A man who hopes he can measure up to the place you seem to have finally reached

My heart is screaming in my chest and my mind is flailing inside of me
I have lost so many I once called friend
To time apart
To the passing miles

It has been said that I am too serious
It has been said that I am not serious enough
To this I say "F**k You!"
I am who I am and it shouldn't matter whether it pleases you!

My future love and wife
I love you
I may not say it always and I may show it every second of the day
But with my presence and the time I spend with you there
Know my love will ever be real

This has been building and growing
This is me hiding what I am for far too long
This has been my sabbatical
This is me saying I'm back for more.

This is as honest as can get, a bearing of ones soul. You state your former position, you show the growth that happens in life, you are speaking to God and you are asking many questions that we have all asked at some time in our lives.

You have lost friends, or were they just passers by, you move on you have a wife that you adore. You tell her so and that is important.

You have poured your heart in this poem, it could be shortened and changed but you are happy with it until you decide otherwise, I am happy with that too.
