You haunt me in my dreams
And somewhere in my nightmares
You come out of the deepest shadows
To scare me once again
Your lips of tender fire
Burning through my cheek
Where you last kissed me
Oh so long ago
When I was still in love with you.
I burned with passion and desire
To possess that which I did not have
You
Who were the epitomy of my definition of beauty
Until I found out
I was just, not, enough
To satiate the deepest hunger inside of you
To love, and be loved in returned
Because somewhere deep inside
You didn't love me
And you never would.
Your hair still tickles my nostrils
Where its scent colors the insides of my mind
Spraying shadows vividly across miles and miles of landscape
That was meant to be painted with you
Spreading beauty and love all over the world
That was held inside of me
But that was just a dream
Or some vividly described nightmare
Where once again
The world decided I wasn't good enough
To be loved.

wow, this is a really great poem. i like how you wrote it, it seems very interesting to me :o) too bad it's about saddness mixing with a partially broken heart, i wish you never had to write any of those types of poems but they are beautiful just the same. keep up all your good work and i'm happy you're finally writing again! YAY!
