Poem
Do you remember the promise you promised to keep The words that tied me so tightly to you that I couldn't breathe didn't want to breathe Didn’t want to taste that freedom that might tempt me to stray away find something else to bind me to this place But there is no place for me, other than in your arms Do you remember my love for everything that is you, everything that you were everything that you ever will be I could only see one safe haven as the water reached my nose, it was you I climbed ashore and proclaimed my undying adoration unshakable faith unbreakable unrelenting unrepenting devotion I remember I remember how it first felt to finally see in a world so dark To finally hear the comforting voice above the deafening silence that had grown so loud it began to pierce places previously unknown Places that should have been buried forever submerged beneath uncountable lies but had begun to float through the cracks I remember how we shared the burden, how you cared Gently caressing the hurt until it felt so good beneath the certainty that you would be there when I wake and when I lie down Throughout the day and when my mind starts to drown do you remember, how I keep myself for you No impurities no insecurities no questions how I stripped myself for you Down to the very core of my soul so that when we connected no one and nothing could come between us But now you seem to have forgotten me forgotten we us how am I the only one on bended knee No, bloodied knee, broken and battered knee please come back to me There is no destiny if it's only me no light at the end if it's only darkness to see Do you remember what it was that brought us together because every day it's slipping from me Every day without you the world's grip on me tightens pulling me from your safety And the more steps I take the cloudier my memories of you become I want to hold on but you have to reach for me, pull me to you with that same intensity that I once felt That answered my cries for help before they left my lips that intensity that defied the tides and brought me to your shores But I don't feel it anymore the cries leave my lips and disappear into the blackness Never to be answered or even echoed so that I might feel some comfort that someone hears me even if it’s my own ears Even if it’s my own fears that are dragging me away how do I stop if I'm bound to nothing How can I remember your love if you no longer exist Do you remember? If you do show me a sign and I'll remember too
