Then you were...

My calming protection
Of unconditional care,
A comforting arm to lay on,
When nightmares filled my rest...

You knew me once,
You knew me well,
Caressed my thoughts
And healed my wounds,
With my best interests at heart
I was too precious to lose.

And then...

Your dissipating empathy
Faded with your cares,
Your blind consideration
Made way for selfish fears.
Your unfamiliarity
Has left me unawares.

I can't deny I loved you
And maybe I still do,
But the building insecurity
Paves only a broken path
Of indecision and misgiving

So now...

One solitary question lingers...
If you left me forever,
Would I really care?

This probably isn't about what you think it is, but people who know me may have some idea. This was something I had to put in words because it's something that plagues my happiness when I'm feeling vulnerable. Anyway...

-polly:you say i'm weird as if it's a bad thing...
:iconbarishiman:
is this how love curtails around? Shining bright but dying out like the stars above? Your presence of time really puts the this poem into perspective and lets the reader linger on to the end. And the ending was just outstanding. Smashing! You're on your A game. :eyepopping:

This is beautiful Sarah, i hope i know what it's about. You made me cry, yes dear you made me... cry:P But i love it, a gift of silence for someone who you want to scream at to notice who you are. I think the subject should see it, It maybe to much for them to understand, but i think by doing so they might realise their little girl in your full spot light; a beautiful poet young woman , whos all growed up, ready to take fight... Argh tears again I wish i could hug you Saz, and take your pain away, but i can't. also i can't see the scream properlt its a bit blurred, by my emotion, brought on by yours. I loev you Sarah, im sorry i can't say any more :cling:

Lol, I do get good times, I just tend to be more inspired to write poetry about the bad things, it comes more easily I suppose... currant cakes are fun!
