I Saved You

I worry about you, Especially when you talk that certain way. You have that sadness in your voice, And claim you want to throw your life away. I'll tell you this: Life is a raging fire, Something that is constant and dangerous Not a calm horizon bliss. For all the things that are now, Is what makes up who you are. Not the lies and deceit from others in your past, Not the torture of living with whomever your living with, Not the pain that you heart has been through, Not the sadness of thinking you're an outcast. What is here and now, In this moment of this day, From the time you wake up, Til the time you rest and lay. Forget yesterday, Think about now. Know that people love you and care, Even if THEY don't show how. But I saved you, I saved you from making a mistake. I'm glad you're here and alive, For to lose you, would be like losing a part of my life.

i love your poetry, i can really relate to most of them, feels as though as youre someone i know and im hearing things i wish to hear... i knew a brittany moon once she lives in idaho, i lost contact with her and i miss her so, i think of her everyday even though i never got to meet her, i cared for her more than any girl ive ever met in my life. thank you for making these poems, makes me feel like maybe she's still out there thinking of me like i am of her
