Labor Day

Listen to poem:

Fallen star In my dark I needed someone to love me; who dies for it in the same way I had given up on love I had given up on trust I had given up on sorrow, pulling me downward and away You wouldn't allow me to dry into dust You wouldn't allow me to be, waste thereof You wouldn't let misery go on for another labor day Now I'm forever changed because you decided you want to stay You did not leave me be a decaying metal to simply rust You became an anodized coating, protecting my heart hereof With love in this vessel where you belong and will forever stay

Trying my hand at an original poetic form. There is a a very specific progressive syllable/rhyme pattern to this one. I am glad the emotions can be felt when it is read!! Thank you dearly for the wonderful compliments!! Regards A.S.
