They tell me that my life is a memory.

But to me, that's all lies, it seems.

'Cause I'm locked in a cage. Please remember me

when my world fades slowly to dreams.

I'm not quite sure where my life is taking me,

but I hope that it's taking you too.

'Cause no matter how terrible life may be,

I'll be alright as long as I have you.

And this bridge that I walk on is trembling.

Or maybe that's my legs growing weak.

'Cause the death in the air is assembling,

reminding me of the havoc it wreaks.

I've never been much good at the goodbyes,

or seen truth in a liar's eyes.

Though I've never held a girl while she cries,

I've held an old man as he dies.

I've never met a friend on the lonely street.

When I walk, there's just one set of feet.

And I've never had a special place for us to meet,

or felt love under hurricanes of sleet.

And I never returned to the icy pier.

Where I stood and whispered in your ear:

"I don't care that my heart is full of fear.

I wish I could kiss you right here."

We promised that we would always take it slow,

but neither of us could ever know

all the pain and perfection we'd undergo

as we stood together in the snow.

Maybe we can return to the icy pier,

and try to destroy my fear.

But winter comes around again this year,

and I'll whisper again in your ear:

"I have a demon that's deep inside of my soul,

and a darkness that nobody knows.

In my heart, there is still a very painful hole.

Baby, please just never let go.

Please never let go."

How does one measure the potential of hope? Place our demons and faults on one side of the scales and our good nature, humor and trust on the other, banking they at least balance. Emotion is the key and the main topic of your poetry as of late, I hope it is helping to tip the scales of romance in your favor :~)

It is hard to find and yet very rewarding to find the one that loves us unconditionally and will stand by us when our mind take us on strange journeys that others do not understand. Nicely penned.

This is very beautiful Dante. Got me thinking about a lot of things/people who left me. So near and dear to me. I loved this line the most:
I've never been much good at the goodbyes,
or seen truth in a liar's eyes.
Though I've never held a girl while she cries,
I've held an old man as he dies.
Made me teary a bit!

This is beautiful Dante, I really really like this poem. It seems that winter is the sadness season...
I always get sad because I'm not with my family back in the United States or playing with my old friends, winter brings a new whole meaning actually... it kind of lifts you up brings you down but shows you light at the end and you'll look back at that experience and say: "its the season maybe". We never want to let go of anyone, we met them for a reason right? why let them go? but the real question is: Why do they go.
Awesome poem Dante, I really like this one.
