We were once together
Together fighting off the rages
this world threw at us
We were happy and all was well
Then I ran
I ran from you
From the comfort of your arms
From your tender lips
I was filled with the fear that had attacked me as I had slept
I ran to the ends of the earth
Into the comfort of my own shadow
And when I had realized I couldn’t live in this hellish world without you
And returned
To beg for your forgiveness
But you had found another
Someone to replace me
And to help you stand up to the storms
And I was alone
I died that day
Unable to fight the world alone
Through no ones fault but my own
I should have never left you

"Cogito ergo sum"-I think, therefore I exist
"Optimi consiliarii mortui"-learn from the past
"Otia dant vitia"-the devil finds work for idle hands

This was quite sad. Good poem though, and I hope things improve for you.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Now maybe, i understand why you choose your name...

Well, chin up tiger! Life is like poker (Not strip poker, mind you!), it all changes at the pull of an ace. With only 52 cards in a deck, figure...wait...nevermind. Anyway, i'm trying to say, hang in there...man, the men in the white coats were right!

Great poem.. But remember, in the end things always get better.     Stay strong.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Sorry to see you're in such a situation.  Hope things are better for you now.

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.
