Through despondency,

  my terse emotional accrual disappaites.

Through anguish,

  my scarred soul reveals more tears.

Through torment,

  my physical shell crumbles from the weight.

Through disappointment,

  my mental faculties dull and whither.

Through desperation,

  I reach out with a trembling hand.

With admiration,

  you refill my empty cup.

With divinity,

  you direct me back into the light.

With devotion,

  you rebuild my crumblin frame.

With asperation,

  you resharpen what has dulled.

With determination,

  you took my hand and held on through it all.

Out of love,

  you remade me a man.

You give me far too much credit. I did nothing...you worked and worked until you caught what you wanted. All I did was run..then fall.

My heart, you could have never run fast enough to get away from me and I'm sorry for the fall. Not.....
