Keep Walking

"How Many Times Have You Told Me?

               "I Love You"

 Within These Words I Could See Darkness.

               "I Hate You"

 I Tried So Hard And Still I'm Lost.

 I Keep Staring At The Stop Sign.

 Does It Tell Me To Really Give Up?

 Or Am I Trying For The Wrong Reasons?

 I Kept Something Hidden Away For You.

 The Scars That Bleed My Endless Soul.

 My Heart Gives Out And Comes Right Back.

 To Fight To See You Happy In The End.

 I Can't Even Hold My Head High.

 Sometimes It Feels Like I'm Fighting.

 For Nothing But As My Selfishness.

 Overrides My Hope Of Seeing You Smile.

 But I Need That Smile When I'm Down.

 Down So Low I Can Feel My Mind.

 Slip Into The Long Abandon Hallway.

 Into A World That Accepts Me With Welcome.

 When I Wake To Sit In The Darkness Alone.

 With The Lighter In Hand I Lit The Flame.

 Seeing My Own Demons Smiling At Me.

 With Hope Now They Have Me Again.

 I See The End Of The Light That Is My Hope.

 I Can Feel The Warmth Of Your Tears Falling.

 Down On My Face As I Look Up From The Dark.

 I Feel I Must Keep Walking Away To Fight The Demons.

 

                  But Some How I Still Love You Forever."

would the person who told you they loved you be just another demon, or is it the "I love you" itself?

Stunning cannot begin to describe this amazingly composed piece but as perfect as it is I cannot express words that can offer feedback of any nature. I liked it.
