Mountain Echoes

by Baby Rainbow   Aug 19, 2015


I want to learn how I can change my soul
so that you will never slip away
and never give up on me.

I wish I knew how to change my heart
so I could be prepared to let you in,
but still know how to keep it beating
if you decide you have to leave.

I want to believe that you will be there
every step along the way,
but right now there is a concrete wall between us
which is turning away good hearts,
and sending me back to the grey, cold mountains
where loneliness echoes...

... and my own emptiness
is all I am taking with me.

    It's terrifying to have someone who you want to make such a change for. The idea of giving everything and hoping to be accepted entirely for what you are, and have that person return the feelings is the scariest thing. But at the same time, loneliness is just as scary...

    There is so much longing within this poem.
    The longing to be accepted.
    The longing for a sense of commitment.
    The longing for that person to open up to you.
    I like how raw it is, and also how you've worded it.

    Hope my method of commenting is okay, I am new to this site and briefly gazed over the rules and such. I also felt a tad hesitant to comment on something so sad and seemingly personal. Sorry if it was too much. I enjoyed your work though. ^^

    There is sadness within a heart when we feel like we are losing something or someone we love. This holds an emotional tie to someone and in that feeling you know what it is like to be alone it seems. I love how this seems to be a personal touch.
