Lost without you

Keep fighting, the darkness
Cast upon my soul, waiting for a touch
To shatter, my prison-trapped mind

Tears stream outwards, forming rivers of grief
Loneliness, grasping air that I breathe
A vessel awaits, a chance of escape

Dreams coat walls, as I travel back to mind
Images flickering, changing all the time
Still yet to discover, the meanings they hide

A distant memory, flickers into sight
The image frozen still, stuck in time
There you walk, barefoot brushing the dust
Past the scattered roses, a blood stained floor

As you approach, my palms flow sweat
Breathing heavily, eyes closed tight
Wanting your touch, yet pushing you away

You’re the reason, I feel this pain inside
Yet you still, keep my soul alive
The hatred I feel, a forgotten memory
brought back to life, each time i try to reclaim
The feelings of happiness, which covers the pain inside...

You like to offset one thing with another. Like...this is this, that is that. Kinda what I do. I've learned that if you balance this with a single line of your notion...it gives the reader time to dwell on what you've written instead of passing it by so quickly. I liked it though..really brought back memories.
