Powerful

a poem

My heart is still suffering with pain
Far too great for me to explain
Invading the corners of my brain
And honestly it’s driving me insane
I can’t sleep at night because
Your voice is all I hear
Always drowning me
In a sea of salty tears
‘Cause losing you was
The only thing I feared
It tore right through me
Like the blade of a spear
My thoughts are flooded
With memories of you
Upon my soul your love’s engraved
And I don’t know what to do
Deep within my mind
One day I knew
That you would change my life
Forever this I say is true
Every time I close my eyes
Your face is all I see
Your beautiful smile encourages me
To be all that I can be
‘Cause you are a part of me and
Without you I’m incomplete
Every second of every minute of every single day
From my heart I promise that you’ll never fade away
Never for a second could I forget
Those magical moments we shared
To erase them from my memory
Trust me I wouldn’t even dare
You see I love you more than
Words could ever describe
Your love is stronger than any
Drug that’s ever been prescribed
I think it’s amazing
Just how powerful our love is
It has wounded me so deeply
Maybe that’s why I feel like this
The bond that we have
Shines brighter than the stars
The brightest flames always
Leave the deepest scars
But you’ll always be my shooting star
From a million miles afar
And no matter where you are
I’ll always find you with my heart
When the road gets rough my darling
Just raise your head and look up at the sky
Close your eyes and make a wish
And trust that I will be your guide

I like this poem. It's very touching, especially to someone like me who is suffering the loss of love. Your metaphors are well said. All I would change is the alignment. The centered alignment of the text doesn't do the poem justice, and made it a tad difficult to follow the rhythm.
