Keeper

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

Forever.

"
"You Never Thought Of Me.
 The Way You Needed Me To Be.
 I Hold Whats Left Of This World.
 You Just Left Me Here So Unfurled.

 You Asked If I Remembered.
 I Said I Forgotten It Somehow.
 The Life We Had Just Fissured.
 You Told Me So It Would Be Now.

 I Looked Away In The Distance.
 At Danger Lurking In The Open.
 Flashing In Us Like An Instance.
 Breaking Apart As It Worsened. 

 I Felt Something Leaving Me.
 I Now See Someone Missing.
 Why Can't I Just Be Free?
 Why Can't I Just See?

 I'm So Blind.
 I'm So Behind.
 My Life Has Stopped.
 My Soul Has Dropped.
 
 I Can't Seem To Get A Grip.
 Our Love Is About To Rip.
 But I Hang Onto Our Desire.
 As It Was Almost Lost In The Fire.

 I Am Defeated By My Mistake.
 I Am The One Who Is About To Break.
 My Life Is Struggling
 My Soul Is Disappearing.

 I Walk Alone First Hand On The Road Of Cancer.
 I Will Fade Away With Love The World Has Forgotten.
 You Told Me I Was The One That You Had Chosen.
 That I Would Aways Walk Away As Your Hearts Keeper."

Author's Note

Jason Shadows
Note: For Those Who Have Played Final Fantasy 10. If You All Remember Correctly Tidus Was A Spirit/Ghost In The Game As It Is Revealed At The End. But Mostly I Put It As A Reference To Something Or Someone Fading Away. Enjoy

I felt this way whenever my dad passed on.. It truly felt like my soul was being ripped apart and that I was fading away. It was soul breaking to see a strong man die the way he did. You have captured the essence of exactly what I was feeling and thinking in this poem.

I love how this flows so well and it was like a song as i read. It truely breaks my heart but I love this so much.. i can relate! I also love how you mentioned Final fantasy here.. this piece can be viewed differently to many. Depending how they look at it. I just love the struggle of pain here.. so heartfelt..
Well done!! ^^

I am not a player and I am a novice on this website. But I know good poetry when I see it! GRIN Well expressed. Dramatic and atmospheric.

I left this with a real sense of tragedy...and as Jacey pointed out, Tidus and Yuna aren't helping :( But I really thought it was good. You had some excellent word choices. Nice work :)
