Seven Years Ago ...

You're looking down at me, blessingly

I reach toward the sky, extending desprately

Where are you now? Where have you gone?

I suddenly feel alone, I'm lost in the midst of the fog.



I feel shamed, I can't begin to explain

What these seven years have done,

How much I really fucking changed.

Into a person I never wanted to become...



In the fucking first place!



My eyes were such a bright blue,

Now I can't find a spark within this room

My visions distorted, tarnished and ruined

I wish to lay beside you, though, cold beneathe your tomb.



I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in destiny

I believe, somehow, this is just the end for me.

I tried to be strong for you, but no one would know,

How much I changed from seven years ago.

This poem... left me with chills. I'm not quite sure if it was the subject or your words... but I think it was a little bit of both. I love the feeling, the sadness, the regret, the indifference being characterized throughout your words. I love the self-doubt remorse shown through the end... and I love the ineudo of seven years ago. Such sad, compulsing words, can inspire anyone... truly... this is one that's just utterly amazing in it's own right.
