Standstill

This poem is dedicated to a very special girl. This poem is about confusion and happiness as opposite faces of the same coin.

You came to me when I was in my darkest hour

When all around me was chaotic and unfair

I was being crushed by devastating power

Before you branched out to me with your care

You reached out to me and touched my hand

Everything around me then came to a stop

Your words show me that you would understand

That you make my sun rise, and my ground drop

Then it's just us floating in an empty sea

Words lose meanings, time stays in place

All is peaceful when it's just you and me

My soul ignites when I see your beautiful face

I get butterflies when I hear your voice

The feelings I have for you can't be said

I would gladly take you above any choice

My heart sings, but it confuses my head

I am like a predator that doesn't make the kill

Blinded by what I don't know how to say

When I talk to you my mind is at a standstill

I fear my own emotions that follow me everyday

You restored my life to me, when I was in hell

For that, I want you to know what I feel inside

But these words are lost, so you never can tell

That I'm at a standstill, so I prefer to hide

I hope you enjoy this. I'm a bit rusty because I haven't written in a while

Such a lovely tribute to her.. I also loved your using classical versification, and I liked this for author's keen, intimate seeing of his friendship to this certain girl.
