Out of the Darkness

 

your arms around me
with your heart pounding blindly
my words fall from my mouth
but i cant seem to let it all out
what have i done, to be so in love?


and here I would wait forever
just to feel your touch again
Love could be our one endevor
only to love you like i did back then
but what have i done, to be this way?


i think about you when i am alone
and every moment other than that
i feel your love in my bones
the world reaveals itself from black
but what have i done to feel this fate?


Why am i so afraid to fall in love again?
You take the weight off of my shoulders
but one day it would be replaced again
but here i sit and wonder
what makes us love at all?
Is it in our blood, or is it just a destiny to fall?


but i culd sit here, in your arms and in your eyes
Let all the world avoid me         
except the love you keep alive
out of the darkness you walk from misery
and open up my eyes
dont worry about anything
its love that lights our minds


like a child learning to walk
wa both fall in love again
but the words we learned when we couldnt talk
are the beginings of our ends
and here we sit wonder
what stars do we see?
When i look into your eyes
theres nothing more i could be

this is a common problem

and NeoPoet needs to address it. Go to Help, Contact Us, Technical Team. In the short term go back and click Edit, and put the stanza breaks in again, manually, that should work. cheers, Jess

This poem really does need its stanza breaks

but even so, sorry, I get the feeling it's just another heartbreak poem. We've all got them. It doesn't seem to add much to the genre. Someone else might be touched by it. cheers, Jess
