Back At You

Throughout life adventures, we seldom find A person that lifts us and forces us kind Without any warning you rendered me blind To my own reflection, my peace of mind The scent of your hair and the shape of your face So silent those foot steps, from only your pace Still do they reveal this girl out of place Whoever I am now knows only your grace In my arms you belong, know it never be so But fair chance you did give me to water it grow With failed dismissal my love brightly glows Just as friends now is bitter tongue I woefully know This bond is beyond more than anything just A lake and her tributaries all burning with lust Cried out then dried out, as they knew they must A dear friend still awaits you, if you don't mind the rust

I'm so glad you liked my poem, I figured I'd check your stuff out. And now I really don't think you are kidding when you say you know what I'm dealing with. Cause I'm so sorry for you brother cause I so totally am this poem. I know this pain all too well. Great job!
