First Love

[Destiny]

The title is pretty self-explainatory. :)

First Love

After all the pain and suffering,
And the feeling that I had nothing,
He came to me, a blinding light,
Giving my heart a reasont to fight,
To breathe again in the aftermath,
To live again and put what happened in the past,
TO feel like I can live for something more,
He made me feel like there was more in store.

And so I lived for me and him,
For the hours together filled with innocence,
For the passion that his voice made me feel,
That made me start to believe this could be real,
That even though this was something new,
That we could be one soul, one love-it still feels true.
So we fell in love, and we fell hard,
And I took a chance and let him be my fresh start.

The hours turned to days and then to weeks,
And just the thought of him took my breath from speech,
He had a way of making me smile and laugh,
And I never got the feeling that it wouldn't last,
But then the world seemed to crumble and fall,
When the hours turned to short, sometimes unfinished, calls,
When the distance between us seemed to start to count,
And the growing emotional tension began to mount.

A 'break' to give him time to think,
I never told him at that moment I couldn't speak,
As my breath seemed to have been stolen from me,
With the words my blind eyes refused to see,
Until the day I found out about her,
All I heard was love and it caused my insides to stir,
But as the week came to a close,
I was grasping for anything that resembled 'love'.

Finally it was our relationship that seemed to have paid,
For when our happiness together seemed never to fade,
Its flaming light grew somewhat burnt, and dim,
But I'll always love him for showing me it's okay to live,
And thanks to him there's a new presence I crave,
Because of a yellow brick road it seems he's paved,
Showing this 'Alice' her way home,
To a "torn open" boy that gives her new hope.

Wow, this the least creepy one you've written in a while. I like it...

[Destiny]

Thanks Chael. lol It took a few days to write this one, and in the end, I refused to write it the way I intended it to sound in the end actually. *Sighs* All of this is the truth too. I felt every bit of this and more, that which can't possibly be written down.

[demonic_monkey]

I loves it! I can feel the emotions very clearly.

But...um...Dorothy went down the yellow brick road. Alice went down the rabbit hole.

[Destiny]

Thanks love! :) That's not the point. :p The point is, most of the movie, or at least in the end, both wanted to find their way home. lol At least, that was my point...Not sure if it was in the movies. :shrug: See now look what you've done! I doubt my poetry's point. *Sigh*

[UNODRAGONE]

wow midget. Even without knowing the back story you painted a vivd picture, one no doubt many can relate to. What I love about it is that even though some instances: After all the pain and suffering,
And the feeling that I had nothing,
and I never told him at that moment I couldn't speak,
As my breath seemed to have been stolen from me,
With the words my blind eyes refused to see,
Until the day I found out about her,
All I heard was love and it caused my insides to stir were down right heart breaking, the poem itself had resolution, it had power and positivity :) well done cutie

[Destiny]

I had wanted it to be more painful and hurtful towards the person, but in the end, I couldn't do that. And this way seems best in the end anyway. :D Thanks UNO. ^_^

[Sanctus Espiritus]

The positive outlook at the end is very inspiring. Not many people choose to look at the silver lining, even after time passes. :)

[Destiny]

Thank you both. :) I usually don't want to look at the silver lining, but in the end, my optimism forces me to. >.< lol Sometimes, my optimism, saves me. Heh, and, not enough time has passed for this. I'm still lickin' my wounds! >.< lol But I'm healin' with the help of a few friends. :D Now, now. I wouldn't say it's one of my best. At least, it's not my favourite. :) But thanks. :D

That's an almost epic poem, Des. Good work :D
