Theme: Feelings

For Awhile Now

For awhile now,

I have felt like this, alive and great,
Like I can anything.
I felt like I can leap, jump across rainbows,
Doing stupid things.

For awhile now,

And after so long, I found beauty,
Where all is lost.
Better than diamond, purer than gold,
It is worth any cost.

For awhile now,

It has been me, staring from afar,
Loving helplessly.
Now I finally see, love has responded,
And it belongs to me.

Unforgiven

You were a chapter of my life,
Something I have never forgotten,
A dream that called me in the night,
That I had dared not fathom.

You were a darkened curse,
A mark that was set upon my life,
Burn wounds and ruined nerves,
Numbing bitterness and pride.

You were a mistake I made,
That I can never make amends,
Even if I learned to live with you,
My feelings you never fail to rend.

You are still with me, even now,
You are my past and bitter life.
Although, I have found my joy now,
The damage remains in my mind.
