The Perfect Sleep

by Falling Up   Oct 26, 2005


Ok its a little bit long, but please read it, its dedicated to my best friend samara. i love you sam, and life will be better again some day. I hope this poem helps you feel better... Good night and sleep tight! love Samantha

For everything tumultuous in life
There is a reasonable explanation
Even for all the unavoidable pain
Giving in to your hearts frustration.

I thought that being strong,
Meant you had to hide your soul
But you cant hide true emotions
It just digs a deeper darker hole.

I remember all the happy times
We shared and made together,
So close our friendship, as was our love
But I guess nothing can last forever.

Only the sun can bring me happiness,
It warms my heart and soul,
It brought me what I yearn to feel
But night came, and from me, it stole.

In my mind I created the perfect world
Where everything wrong was right,
Nothing could make me feel unhappy.
A warm blanket hugging me at night.

A place where nobody hurt, nobody hated,
People loved and shared.
Youd never feel unwanted or worthless
No worries or need to be scared.

No one was ever lonely here,
Someone would hold you hand if need
And dry your tears when you cried your sorrows
And help your soul be freed.

Taking in a deep breathe of air,
Relief that I can be in this place for a while,
I breathe out, remembering I had to wake up
This "perfect world" is the only place I smile.

I would like to stay there forever;
Id like forever to stay within me,
A cold shadow of dark ran over this place
Ruining my creation, which now I cant see.

These thoughts kept running through my mind,
This very unrealistic dream I dreamt,
But either way my heart cracked a smile
Only my hope, will keep away lifes contempt

Dont ever give up on anything
Especially if u still want to try
Listen to your heart and soul
Never let anything pass you by.

If life just makes you want to cry
wipe away your tears
The pain will just keep building up
Bringing out your inner most fears.

If you dont have all the answers you want
To the questions that you still dont know
Dont stop asking for their meaning
Or itll eat your inside, and continue to grow

Dont say that you dont love him
If deep down, you really cant let him go
Spiteful words may hurt your feelings
But the silence, hurts more than youll know.

There are certain things in life
That cant be avoided or hidden away
Dont hold in what you really feel
Get your inner most thoughts out, and say

Through the storm, a rainbow appears
It may seem like its far, far away
There is still hope, just keep looking above
For the sun again will shine someday.

I love you more, than youll ever know,
I just wish you could see it too
Even if u dont ever love me back,
Ill forever and always love you.

Ill love you forever, and ever and ever
Till theres no forever left to give
As long as you know, how I feel about you
I can set my soul free and live.

Without you this poem would be nothing,
Without you, I too would be nothing
Thank you for the feelings youve given to me
With you, my perfect world can be something.

So for all the unavoidable pain
Dont hide it all away
Dont dig that hole that buries your soul
And turns you blue sky into dark gray.

Just remember the lasting memories,
And the perfect world that someday you just might,
Get if u truly believe it can come true
With a warm blanket hugging u at night.

Someday youll take in, that deep breathe of hair
Realizing that forever has always been inside you .
You just have to look deeper into your heart
And see that something you never knew, could be true

Breathe out, open up your eyes
And see the bright sunny day.
A feeling that warms your heart forever
Just like the perfect world that can stay.

    Wow wow wow... I. Love. This.

    "A place where nobody hurt, or nobody hated,
    People loved and shared.
    Youd never feel unwanted or worthless
    No worries or need to be scared."

    *I think it'd be better without the "or" in the first line there.

    And where is the entrance to this perfect world of yours? Can anybody get it? heh...I can never really remember my dreams. My perfect world would be very similar...with my love by my side! Maybe, if there is a Heaven, that's what it will be like.

    Yesh, keep the hope!

    "If life just makes you want to cry
    Dont simply whip away your tears
    The pain will just keep building up
    Bringing out your inner most fears."

    *wipe away your tears

    Very beautiful poem and dedication. And...don't tell anyone, but my real first name is the same as your best friends's. Rose is the second part of my first name. Samara is pretty rare...I just thought I'd mention that. I bet she loves you too!

    I'm going to show this to some friends. Thanks.

    I used to think like that, but found it only damaged me.

    I do hope you manage to get over whomever it is...
