You

Love. 

One of the most powerful words, yet used so carelessly.

What would you say if I said that I still love you?

Would you run away?

Or would you stay to hear me say how I have nothing to lose. 

I fear that this is so. 

If I lie and wait and let "Time Heal Me,"

Then I may never feel that feeling when I've finally accepted that difficult task.

I wish that you could let me be that person to mend what I broke;

That person to listen when your torn, 

and that person to break off those prickly thorns. 

My only wish is to have you;

a dream so faint, yet feels so real.

I wake up in a cold sweat ready to call out your name

Only to realize that...

 I am alone. 

When I finally accepted the fact that you were gone long before you left,

It still hurt me.

However, the person that I have become

Cannot be compare to the person that left you in shambles when you left me.

I may have been the cause for your present state,

but let me be the reason why you love again.

Now, I'll lay down my pride,

Suck back my shame,

and breathe out your name

so that You may see

The everlasting love in Me.
