Something Beautiful

A short poem I just wrote while sitting in my car.

All I really want,
At the root of my core,
Is immortality on paper,
To say something which resonates,
Through time and space,
Language and land,
Something beautiful put,
Upon page or screen,
Words not as weapons,
But a gift from one aching soul,
A helping hand,
Company in the abyss,
Not a way out,
Nor through,
Just a companion,
To see me as I truly am:
Broken and scarred,
Tattered and worn,
Life's not been easy,
My mistakes pile high,
They haunt me from the back of beyond,
They plague me when I should rest,
But who will hear me,
Who would understand,
Who could ever sit with me and listen,
Deeply hear my tale,
The nitty and the gritty,
The monster in the detail,
How could someone love,
The creature I've become?
Carefree youth and reckless days gone by,
A human withered,
A demon in disguise.
All I really want,
Is to never fade away,
To be loved beyond measure,
To have safety at my feet,
A warm embrace,
A tight but gentle hug,
A life worth living for,
Eternity has already felt so long,
An end is not enough,
All I really want,
Is it all.
