But I must say good bye, and that's the toughest part... It's so hard to explain the complex feelings swarming inside me.... I think I rather like how this one turned out... [bodytext] => You brought to life
a part of me I believed
to be long since dead.
You planted hope and love and
goodness in my soul
and when you came to me,
it bloomed,
sprouting smile after smile on my once saddened face.
You reintroduced a light so bright,
beaming laughter and freedom
from everything.
My heart which is held together with
stitches so thin from shatter after shatter,
pumped life and utter joy,
reawakening me.
But commings go along with gowings,
and so the sad piece comes.
Beginnings have endings,
and my happiness dies with your
fading footsteps.
I'll return to being the
lost and depressed child
with nothing but
darkness and a bloody arm.
Nothing good left inside of me.
I want the feelings to stay.
I don't want to die again,
my heart hardening each passing day.
My blood runs slow,
so cold, so numb,
watching you disappear into oblivion. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 2 [informant] => WorthlesSanity666 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

This is a very strong write. Instead of allowing yourself to go back to old ways, you should hold on to the memories of those feelings, because it will come along again.
Take care : )

It's great to be a poet,
and be able to express
yourself like this.
