Once...

A quick relief of some feelings that I recently managed to define...

Through the fog, the darkness in all

She saw his face and the light in his eyes

Surrounding her, the blackness standing tall

His voice unmuting her deepest cries

 

Once limb, once careless and weak

She struggled, rose up and breathed

Her head and her heart fatigued

And her soul again was wreathed

 

He was with her always and ever

A promise for something better

His weapon of choice could sever

Any fears or on her marks of leper

 

Her world aside, the darkness faded

His innocence carried them both

Into clouds of golden wool braided

Their hearts entwined with growth

 

Alas, the moment forever was gone

A love maimed by distance and pain

His heart into the open was drawn

And she submerged once more in vain

 

And time came when she understood

His world too untainted and pure

She was ruined and never she would

Have him her obscurity cure

I don't know why but I enjoy reading poems about broken relationships and writing poems about broken relationships. This captured both the good times and the bad times and the good times flowed into the bad times very well. I liked how the words you used to rhyme were complex and different than the average rhyming poem (if that makes sense). Good job! :)

Thank you very much! I'm glad I managed to somewhat succeed in putting this down in words, since it's a time that means a lot to me :)

I'm so sorry if this actually happened to you, but writing about it is great therapy.

Unfortunately it did! And yes, writing is a great therapy, I'm working on getting more up here :)
