Found You Here (Poetry) · 8:11pm Mar 13th, 2018
I wrote this about a time when I was happier with someone by my side. Apparently, it was the wrong person, and as such, I fell into deep, deep depression that would have actually killed me, and it nearly did. This is a look into my inner-most being and something that I wouldn't otherwise put out there for the viewing. - FireRain (Dan)
Found You Here (Working Title)
There are many words to say,
Vows, promises and secrets to keep,
Yet what the heart wants is a cautious friend.
Be wary and tentative, hold it dear and wait for the right one.
Too many wrongs don't make a right.
Be forever loyal and kind-hearted,
Allow a kiss and a cuddle,
Be that one who is patient and warm,
Come with open arms.
I don't want fear, pain or anxiety,
I just want what I never had: true honesty and a darling dear to be my own.
Love is a rarity to not be given lightly,
So I hope I have found you here.
If not here, then maybe in the next life after this.

Thanks! It's actually harder than it might look at first glance to translate one's emotions into a poem like this, and for me, it's difficult in the personal tense. However, I don't mind too much as long as others enjoy my work and what I can offer from my experiences. If there's anything to learn from this one, it's that, if you truly wish for the next step in a relationship, do so with caution and be prepared for anything. Living with another person is seriously a ride that can become a train wreck at any given moment.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
