Poem Title:
Poem
I’m writing this poem in honor of you Everything that you are, everything that you do For the light that you shine and for all of your dark For the way you surrounded and captured my heart For each word you have written, each thought that you’ve shared For the letters you’ve sent saying how much you’ve cared About keeping our friendship alive and sincere Even though we both knew it would still be two years Till we finally meet. For this great heaping platefull Of love you’ve so selflessly given, I’m grateful You are the reason I’ve finally stopped fighting Myself to pick up this damned pen and start writing Again, somehow you’re always able to guide me Away from my mind towards that truth still inside me The truth that I’m no longer bound by the chains Of my past, even though memories still remain The hope which you’ve shared through your inspiring words Has given me so much more than I’ve deserved With your kindness of heart, you have shown me humility You have somehow given me the ability To see myself without seeing my addiction To forgive myself looking past the afflictions I’ve caused. And the guilt I feel through others suffering Reminding me how it’s all part of recovering Someone once told me I’d never be strong Enough to love someone, now I know they were wrong With every line that you’ve written through poetry You’ve brought out feelings that never were known to me Giving me courage to open my heart again Without fear of it being torn apart again Thank you for everything for me you’ve done It’s for all of these reasons, my heart, you have won
