You In Me
~First Knight~


Without you close...
I am lost again.

I never know where to begin.

Feelings exploding,
deep inside.
Breathless
moments....
I must
confide.

I'm your sun....
Yes, I have heard you say.

Brightly shining on your darkest day.

But it's because
you burn so bright in me.
That I give back
the life you gave to me.

Because....
Losing you
is like losing me.

For....
utter darkness
is all....
I'll see.



 A man does not love a woman because she is beautiful...But she is beautiful because he loves her.

Lovely poem...totally "wow".

But it's because
you burn so bright in me.
That I give back
the life you gave to me.

Beautiful!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

This is excellent with deep emotion and pain showing through...

Because....
Losing you
is like losing me

This stanza especially ripped at my heart, I also noticed your "signature"....a man who has felt love...beautifully said.

First_Knight,
     I can feel the emotion from your work.  These are very powerful words.  I can feel the strength of your poem.  Thank you for sharing.

Oh man..the "loosing you is like loosing me" line really got to me. I can relate so much to that.  Powerful, beautiful, heartwrenching this is....another masterpiece.
