If Only

If Only

A Poem by Obscured by the Shadows

The world is an evil place,

so cold and cruel.

It makes you feel unwanted,

worthless and alone.

 

I'll tell you something,

dear Spark of mine.

The world may be evil,

but it can also be wonderful.

 

I hope I can help you realize,

that there is something out there.

It will all be okay, 

You will never be on your own.

 

I am sorry for your pain,

it must be so hard to bare.

I understand how you feel,

because I am there with you.

 

We both went through hell,

tried to drag ourselves out.

I have failed countless times,

I hope you succeed.

 

You are not worthless or to blame,

everything happens for a reason. 

Perhaps you knew that it wasn't to be,

that there was something else out there for you.

 

I hope I can help you find it, 

as you have done for me.

You make me feel worth something,

you make me feel wanted.

 

Can I do the same for you, 

little Spark of mine?

Can I nourish you, 

bring you back to life?

Can I hold you close to me,

tell you of my love?

Can I be the only one,

that gets to call you mine?

 

All these question, 

I pray I can be asked.

I have asked them to you,

I hope you can say yes.

 

Though it may be hard, 

you could say no.

I wouldn't mind, 

It's simply what you chose.

 

This life is yours, 

no matter how cruel.

Do as you wish,

Don't let anyone take that from you.

 

I only have one request,

rather small, I think.

Don't forget to smile,

It's such an important thing.

Obscured by the Shadows
Though there is no rhyme scheme, it came from my heart. It may not make sense to you, but I really don't care. This is something close to me and that is all that matters. I do hope you enjoyed it though.

Amazingly this Spark was the hope igniting this feeling in you that although this world is still unfair, yet his presence makes it a lot more bearable, gives you the hope and another chance to feel alive to feel good, the love someone wholeheartedly. Taking a stand, facing the obstacles together if possible, even if you fail you wish for him to overcome it. A lot more is there, but I think I will stop right here.
Regarding the write itself , i loved it because it was honest and unadulterated, a perfect combo for a powerful write that can resonate with a lot of people. ^^ I enjoyed it very much
