I am the first gasp of breath that filled your newborn lungs and forced from you, your heartfelt cry. I am the first tentative steps you took as you left the sanctuary of your mother's arms. I am your first day at school, when you sobbed, tight arms clinging to your father's legs. I am the bully in the playground, The names that had you hiding in the gym. I am the boy next door that laughed in your face, not able to see beyond the scars. I am the trembling hand of youth that crept around your shoulder at the dance. I am the spotlight on the first night stage the expectant faces in the crowd. I am the kiss that took you by surprise and the feelings it stirred within your heart. I am the dream that stalks you in your sleep the nightmares that make you scream. I am the lonliness of a broken heart as you were discarded and overlooked. I am there with you on your wedding day I led you down the aisle to his arms. I am the tears you cried as the anger welled In the face of the one you once loved. I am the slow decay of a once bright mind, I am the fall into the depths of despair. I am the hushed word spoken as death draws near I am the end, the unknown, the abyss. |

You get a round of applause from me for this one. I really did like this I think I'll have to put it in my library. Always a fan of slow decay.  Enjoyed. I'm off to read your other poem. "The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun |
