What was lost?

What was lost?

A Poem by Lanky
"

Pain, anger, confusion these are the things we feel when someone we love leaves us. So i decided i would try to write my heart out.

"

All those smiles

All those kisses

Every word of encouragement

And every moment of fun

All that we once had

You cast off in your march to the sun

You look towards the brightest future

But as soon as night sets you will see

There is no one

No one

As good for you, as me

I gave you what you needed

When you needed it most

I was always encouraging

when you followed dreams

I watched as you gave them wings

And when those wings collapsed

like they always did

I was the one that caught you

Before you fell right on your head

I bet Iccarus himself

Wished he had someone like me

To catch him when he fell

Trying to fly on waxen wing

So what have you lost?

Nothing you think is important

At least not to you now

But think hard about this

Life is short

And regrets are many

Are you willing to risk losing your best friend?

It may not seem it now…

But soon

Oh very soon

It will

You got your wish

You are

Totally

Utterly

Unwaveringly

Alone

You lost your only constant ally

Now all that’s left

Are those petty people

Who judge your every step

When you are ready I will be awaiting

But don’t wait too long

For my wounds are great indeed

You have severed off a piece of me

And should it ever regrow

My hide will be forever tough

Just enough to protect a heart

Whose feeble attempts to beat

are too pathetic to describe

and whose love for you was so intense

it will never fully subside

i wrote this under great emotion, so its structure is flawed. But see if you can enjoy it anyway =P
