Dagless Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dare I turn to you again? It was never you who hurt me You never left me You aren’t something that can be lost or found You are always in me Fighting fear alone Looking for a reason to grow Was it you who spoke to me all those lonely nights Telling me to hold on Hold on to you? Hold on because of you? You aren’t something that can be given or taken away You are within me Longing to be understood Waiting to shine The world is not devoid of you Because you are still in my heart Still in my eyes When I can not turn to you You will turn to me because you’ll never leave me. 2 Link to comment
tiredofvampires Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Another beauty, Dags. This is the truth of things, isn't it? I well up at this stanza: You aren’t something that can be given or taken away You are within me Longing to be understood Waiting to shine The separation that first occurs when your dearest is taken dissolves separation.

Dagless Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 This started out as a very different poem which had the line "It took a moment for her to be took away but love stayed, it would not go away." I really wanted to bring accross how that love is in our hearts and that is something that is within ourselves and that love is a bond we share. And real love is an unbreakable one at that. The title is a nod to the Dexy's Midnight Runners track "Love Part One" Link to comment
tiredofvampires Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Maybe you should write the other poem as well, too. That's a great beginning... It's so hard to see through the thicket of missing the flesh-and-blood form of the person who we love. But what you saying is so true -- if that is taken, that is only a piece of the picture. The love and the bond, and what was known and shared, really cannot be scathed by death. History, our personal history has been made and writ and there is no taking it back. I do believe that we become infused with the nature of this person's love, with the elements of their soul, to the point that it's just part of our matrix. And heck, anything Dexy's gets a nod from me, too. (Suddenly I don't feel as old, if you're hip to Dexy's! ) Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Simply beautiful, and these words really speak to me: The world is not devoid of you Because you are till in my heart Still in my eyes When I can not turn to you You will turn to me because you’ll never leave me. Link to comment
