Timothy Yeager Poet Rhyme

Everything To Me

You were everything to me, my love, 
My life, my destiny. 
When I was weak, in disarray, 
Your love was just a kiss away. 
Angelic gift from God above, 
You made the best of me. 

You were everything to me, my spouse, 
My heart's intensity. 
When I had sought my highest peak, 
I knew, 'twas you who made me seek, 
And though I never had a house, 
A home you've given me. 

You were everything to me, my loss, 
My pain, my misery. 
I held you close, but still you died, 
I couldn't save you, though I tried, 
And now your grave is plagued with moss, 
And I, uncertainty. 

You were everything to me, my ghost, 
My mad insanity. 
I see you in my sour dreams, 
And waking hours, now it seems, 
So here I'll hang from your same post, 
And I'll be damned with thee.

Skat A May 27, 2011 at 7:54 PM really dark poem with a super sad ending keep the pen moving

Joshua Arnett May 27, 2011 at 7:53 PM Excellent. Very powerful words. I do believe you could Line 6, Stanza 1, to something like "You made the best from me" or "You refined the best in me". But as is, it is still great.
