moonlight shines like a beacon through
my window
filling every dark corner with its presence
as the night flees from the very edges
as the room is washed in illuminating paint

I felt darkness once
deep inside
in corridor long forgotten
even though I moved there was no sound
the sparkle had long since dulled and faded
this room boarded up
so no light might pierce the emptiness
which by now had grown thick
so it was now evident by all senses

I wont say though that my world had ended
life had gone on
I had purpose
I was once again
me
I could once again
see the soul inside
from dim lit mirror

I had moved on
embraced meaning
but inspite of it all
part of me ached for more

I had seen bad choices
and broken promises
play out like some tear jerker
frame by frame
to its predictable emotional end

I had cursed the fairy tale
that proclaims "happy ever after"
bitterness ate
at the same rate loneliness taunted
till I was not more then numb

I had moved on
shoved it all in some forgotten part
the wonder
the awe
the pain
love
nailed the doors and windows shut
so it all would remain in the past
forgotten
so the pain would dull to but
a memory

I wanted to love
be loved
but it all seemed foriegn
to me
every moment
I would get close I would run
back to shadow

Then there was you
out of a old camera roll
of memories
you came to mind
a simpler happier time
that for some reason my mind
had chose to capture and store
imprint on every part of me

Remembering drove me
to find you
to fill the puzzle
of why
many years had not faded you
from memory

I remember the many months
at church
denying feeling
willing to live with no more
so at least you would be there
and not just in memories

I remember the first time I really looked
into your eyes
ryan was playing on a snow pile
heritage square
as I looked into your eyes
I felt you looking back
into me
with peace
a electric spark hit a nerve

I felt myself really smile for the the first
time in a long time

Something amazing
like out of a fairytale
everymoment with you, bliss
and without you
the moments are
an eternity

I couldn't wait to see you
look in your eyes
hear your voice
feel your kiss

I don't when it happened
the boards are flying off
the door coming open
as the light from your pretty eyes
fills my dark forgotten room

Its all coming out
confused
flooding all at once
sometimes
jumbled, silly
I love you


you look in my eyes
night scatters
my soul illuminated
and every dark part of me
runs
fleeing from the very edges

This was intense and jam packed with emotions.  
It is heartbreakingly beautiful the way you wrote it, the feelings are all there and felt deeply.

Great to have you here among us again~
