Everything you are
Was everything to me
You taught me to move
To be moved
To touch
To be touched
Twisting and screaming
I pulled away from you
Just wanted to be on my own
Thinking and dreaming
Of what I could do
Now that I was all alone

Everything you did
Was everything I need
Letting go, you made me free
And opened up your hands
You showed me how to need
How to be needed
How to love
How to allow myself to be loved
You gave me the strength to cry
So I cried for what I saw
And the pain that surrounds me
I wanted to try
But it just got too hard
Without you all around me
In time I forgot
The things that you said
They became mixed up
Lost inside my head

You reached out your hand
Ready to take me back
Show me all over again
I didn’t understand
Didn’t want to go back
To where I had already been
Angry and yelling
I ran away from you
Not ready to come home
There was no telling
What I’d have to go through
Did you know it’s lonely to be all alone?
You taught me to look
But now I’ve been blinded
Because I lost the hope you gave to me
Now I need it the most
But now I can’t find it
The tears build up until I can’t see
But they won’t fall
I can’t cry anymore
Because nothing gets through this shield of stone
I keep standing tall
And I’m not sure what for
They didn’t tell me it hurts to be alone

Now I long to return
To the place where my heart is
I’m ready to learn
Finish what you started
I’m begging please
Reaching for your hand
Down on my knees
Waiting for your command
Left heaven for earth
There’s no choice in choosing
Because eventually everything’s tested by fate
For whatever it’s worth
I know that I’m losing
And I’m saying I’m sorry before it’s too late
I’ll search for you
Until you let me back in
And I’m not giving up
Until I find the strength to cry again.

Hey Kris, welcome to our humble little forum!!!!  I think yer gonna like it here.  Telling by your first porm I read, we're gonna like having you here.  I'd love to pick at it a little bit, but there's nothing really worth picking.  Your metaphores were very smart, vocab was good, no too short or simple and the whole flow was very powerful.
I think every hopeless romantic reading that sat there and wished that someone would write something like that for them someday.  There is more than one girl out there that I let go to freedom whom I wish had something like that to say.  Maybe next time I'll get to pick on ya a little bit..j/k!!!  Keep it up..later.
p.s. thank you for your kind words..keep reading...and writing.

Jeremy D. Halstead
