Just To Light Up His Sky .

by ABake   Apr 3, 2008


I ' m preparing myself to ask you the biggest question of our relationship ; My heart is beating and the perspiration is ready to fall in large drops -- All of the sudden my mouth has decided to go dry ; Dry just like the desert at the peak of a drought [ I Suddenly Forgot All Of The Meaningful Words I Had Oh So Perfectly Planned To Say ] I still remember the pitiful way you begged for [ one ] last chance ; I could only resist for so long -- If only I was strong enough to let go . . .

I am underwater screaming at you to save me ; Just keep smiling at me sweetheart , I can only hold my breath for so long -- So much for that [ important ] question I needed to ask you ; I can only imagine how happy you will finally be once I am gone : My conscience keeps telling me [ Be Strong , Be Strong ] but after not breathing for a while , you begin to loose your composure ; I am afraid even with the top medical care , I will never be able to regain mine - They keep saying it is from all of the water , but I know it ' s from your love .

Even after all of that , you ' re still the only thing on my mind - Well , the part that was not damaged by the lack of oxygen during the " swimming incident . " What [ everyone else ] does not know , it was not incident , I just wanted to see if you would really get your pretty little hands wet in attempt to save me : But let me tell you , you look even more beautiful from under water than up close ; I still remember the way you laughed as you watched me screaming from the pool side . . .

Every now and then I get the courage to look through an old shoe box filled with our two - years worth of memories ; Sometimes I cry , other times I get so mad I shred another picture or burn a dozen or so more of your love letters that I always read way too deep in to -- I guess some things will never change ; And till this day , I know you would never risk a decrease in your ego for me and I would still go to the farthest yard just for a little amount of your attention . . .

    the imagery is this small part is absoluetly fanatstic, you can almost put yourself in the shoes of the person in the poem. if it is you or someone else?

    And till this day , I know you would never risk a decrease in your ego for me and I would still go to the farthest yard just for a little amount of your attention . . . - fabulous absoluettly fabulous.

    again, i think all your poems could be a little longer but thats becaus ei like them so much. and there is that small detail on punctuation, can help an awful lot.
