January 14, 2010--This is a bit of a summary as to the emotions I was dealing with that day. The night before was riddled with love. The day after was a bit disheartening, but all is well after all.

Holding on with both hands tied�"

These thoughts,

These fears,

They multiply

Like the waves that keep crashing onto the shore.

I am a thought form

Riddled with dust

And fraught with confusion.

I am the demand

For penance.

I see you swimming in the seas of your

Shadow self,

And the mirrors to life

Reflect your doubts.

Reaching out,

The hand is ignored�"

What am I to do with rejection?

Have I become the relief for loneliness?

Is my heart beat the only tune you carry,

Or do other chimes of laughter fill the halls

Of your heart?

May the page console the fears of denial and shame.

May this night not disregard

A humble prayer for you.

All I want are for your words to be true.

In the night you held me close

And said that you would like to be here for us,

Yet your actions contradict those words.

Which am I to believe?

Your heart is being draped with verses…

As the night lavishly breaks into dawn,

And I am taken.

There is so much more to life then

Meeting expectations.

Do you see me now?

I don't think I've ever read this one before. There are too many phrases here I like so I can't mention them all. BUT! "I am a thought form riddled with dust and fraught with confusion." What an awesome line! "I see you swimming in the seas of your shadow self, and the mirrors to life reflect your doubts."

These are great lines as is the poem as a whole. I can almost see your consoling hand being held out and wondering if it will help. Great poem Snow.
