Promises Burning Bright

Contributed by ChaosFactor on Tuesday, 2nd February 2010 @ 09:33:35 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

The burning was good; the burning was fine.
I love how no one questions my sick, sick high.
My head finally cleared and for once I could breathe;
You know, there's only two things that do that to me.
I long to fly high, to escape the pain,
To fill the hole and to silence my brain.
There are no secrets' there can be no lies,
So why do I still hide behind this innocent disguise?
So here I am, frantic and more
Trying to escape a pain I can't ignore.
I don't want to go there; I don't want to see--
Those places, those faces, might really kill me.
But I suppose I can no longer pray to die
With those I love finally breaking inside.
So now I am bound by your promises bright,
With only your love to get me through the night.
Amazingly, somehow I might make it through;
Lucky for me, I finally chose you.

That was an intense poem. Love conquers all! Very good job!

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. ©
