Because of You

Contributed by tonia on Friday, 20th July 2007 @ 10:52:18 AM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

Because of you I know what it means to feel. I wake up in the morning missing so much of what I used to be I almost don’t recognize myself. You have made me aware of fear, emptiness, loneliness, and being without hopes and dreams. These are the things I was unaware of until you. This is how I lived, this is how I loved, and this was me.

Because of you all of this is gone I have an absence in my life, an empty place in my soul. This is where they hid, in my soul, the fear and hopelessness. The emptiness that is now being filled with you. The fear is now alone and the dreams are ready to be lived.

Because of you I am overwhelmed; I have to slow down my emotions so that I can feel each one solely for what it is. To let each one, not touch but, pierce my heart and then fill it. I now know how it feels to have my heart so full that it hurts. I know how it feels to be excited, it’s not that little butterfly feeling in my stomach but a tidal wave over my life. You are love, hope, dreams, wholeness, and you are life.

Because of you I am full of expectations that are fulfilled. I am not afraid to look forward to the next day and know I won’t be let down. I am experiencing life and sharing dreams. I am letting my heart beat for more than the next breath but so I can breathe. I am allowing my tears to fall without fear knowing you catch every single one of them.

Because of you I welcome the butterfly feeling but hope for the tidal wave, I look for a moment to trust and be naked in vulnerability. I wait for your words that cause me talk with a whisper only meant for you to hear. I stop for your touch, the touch only meant for me, the touch my body feels but my words can’t explain.

because of you I feel, because of you I live, because of you I love.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
