Loyalty

I love too much and It burns at every touch I am hunted by many But loved by all those who see joy in ways so petty I am alone in my thoughts When I close my eyes not a tear or a drop Of what is left of a man who still has pride in his heart So much bloodshed was it even worth the start? Dreaming of change That ended in in chains But that is the way of the world For those who reach past breath held and sneak out with a pearl A dream of a chance That there is such a thing as love at first glance I loved so many and trusted them down to my last penny I thought loyalty still existed between brother and kinsman But that day is gone to the days of what isn't I never lied nor cheated when it came to a brother But gave them a home,food and even shared them my mother Still it wasn't enough to have a roof and have love Brothers in arms ha! that's long since a dream that is prayed to above But I leave this for them know they never did break me I'm stronger and wiser and no longer so easily shaken I look in there eyes but they look at the floor I guess pride and respect matters to me just a little more Know I forgave from the start I hoped we could share a dream but fell short by your simple remarks Know I still love you even forgive you so humble and when the ball drops and you finally stumble you still have a brother hand out to pull you back as they crumble

I don't believe a poem needs a form to define it that to me is for school you write what you feel and let it lay how it lays nobody can grade your opinion
