Soul Comfort

Soul Comfort

A Poem by Leviathus Fortes

Am I merely chasing a dream
I know that you were real
I will not stand here or be in this place
And not acknowledge your existence

You are here, you're always with me
If only as a feeling I keep inside
Onward do I travel
To fix what had been broken

I keep faith inside that I will find you
And faith is all I need
Moments play back in my head
Yes I know that you are real

So to my friends I said goodbye
They know where I now go
I take comfort in the fact
That they support what I will do

My soul it screams out to me
"You must do this thing and now!"
I will not ignore that voice inside
I wish to be at peace

You had left here thinking
The wrong things about me
But I am not like them

Now you shall go through your life
Thinking this of me
I'll go through my life knowing
You think this of me too

Normally I do not care
What others think of me
But your opinion mattered
I have to find you, if only to say "hey"

I'll find a way to send that message
The path I go on this journey that I take
I'm building a map, so you can find me
Perhaps I'll find you along the way

Physical presence would be nice
Yet it is not required
I'll use my skills to my advantage
I want you to know that I did care

Please do not think ill of me
I am NOT like them
By God, I swear I'll fix this
Everything they broke

So here I go I'm traveling
Adventure is at hand
I must remain resilient and have patience
For I know not how long this will take

But I know I have to try, to never give up on myself
You had meant the world
And I want the world to know
What it was you did for me

I'm glad that we got to meet
You were a blessing, an awakening in disguise
We were both in a point in our lives
Where I feel that we were always supposed to meet

Divine intervention, yes it's real
Look at the future paths we both now take
Real futures from the places where we were at
A reward for staying strong

I will find you and for a moment
I can finally rest my heart
Do you still think of me
Or have you pushed me from your mind

I know I am part of that place
A reminder you wish to forget
Please do not leave me in the past
To keep me as a memory

I am NOT them, so please don't punish
Someone who really cared for you
Perhaps one day I'll be allowed, by God, to see you once again
And I will consider myself blessed

You came along, you are no accident
You were exactly what I needed in my life
Yes I miss you and I love you
I did then and always will

Joined at the hip, as I do recall
Without the other, loss set in
We shared a bond, we shared connection
And you can love the hell out of of a friend
