Stripped of Burdens

by Eden   Apr 21, 2005


All these pains inside are coalescing into a painting of misery. I cannot see through the opaque mirage of fate that is painted over my future; my soul. Can anyone understand my pain? Sometimes I feel as though if a single person, the strongest of the world, were to take my pain, they would kill themselves swiftly so as not to live with my agonizing walk through this necessity of life. I bench press the weight of infinite burdens upon my shoulders, and I try and cry not...but I try in vain, because I cannot bear this load alone...

...You are there, you are panting with the effort of sustaining succor to my cumbersome pondering. Your strength is all I need just to stay alive, for I live to see your face. I want to touch your smooth skin and heave this burden away so that you do not have to share in my pain. I take the pain of your heart as my own...yet another burden as heavy as all combined to put me to the test. I crumble and fall to my right knee on the softened surface of a crystal sea of peace. I am sinking, this burden seemed too much.

But as my mouth is filled with water, I remember your tears falling onto the waters of forged love, and I gasp for air. I struggle to remain above the peace of death...the beckoning water's peace calls out to me...it's vocie is so near...so clear.

Then you pick me up once more and help me survive another moment...there to touch my skin in reassurance of your love for me.
It is enough to keep me alive for another day...

...Then you kiss my soft lips and my burdens disperse into nothingness...they disappear because there is nothing in my mind but you. You are my peaceful remedy for life.

I cherish your love
I admire your inner strength and beauty...
I'm passionate in my thoughts of you,
For who else could ever understand us?
I need to see you more each day...
I cannot survive without you, I pray.
So let me drift on into the dreary future...but please, you must be there, too.
I miss you, My Angel
I love you even more.
