To Never Drift Apart

Published on 19 September 2014 at 18:31

Deep, dark, and terrifying,

May our souls burn so passionately

To forgive ourselves, yet still pained

By the endless darkness we seek.

A bleak loneliness, you may know

But deep down, it is the fear of lost hope.

I can not explain my sorrows, nor yours

But it seems to be seeping out into the world

Behind closed doors, beneath the surface,

Under the broken skin, the open pores,

Spewing emotions, flowing as if a river.

Conflicting thoughts, trying to find answers

But brought to the attention of my dying heart,

As if yours strays too distant, much too far.

For one’s feelings to travel, yet you try,

To give yourself to me, before I utterly die.

And thus, I am thankful, for you, my love

As I shall swim in a sea of turtle doves

Forever alone, yet always there, at heart

But my dying soul seeks only—

to never drift, and to never fall apart.
