Description
ShadowWhen all else has abandoned you
We are still one step away
Closer than your next heartbeat
Nearer than your next breath
Arms outstretched; awaiting
When all do not see
Disappearing
Still fearing
Trembling
Despairing
Barbed words cutting cruel
Bleeding
Still feeling
Translucent being
Tortured seeming
We wait patiently
For your awakening
Skins shedding
Catalyst Triggering
You cannot be alone
We yearn to show
The way towards home
Away from the world gone cold
Within darkness we shelter the light
One step away from your sight
Take comfort from your plight
Await the dawn within the night
When all else has abandoned you
We are still one step away
Closer than your next heartbeat
Nearer than your next breath
Arms outstretched; awaiting
Living within your shadow
We are always with you
Within you;
We are you

Who needs blankets when you could just snuggle up with someone?
*grins* saves on heating bills and it's fun!

I must admit that I like your idea much better! *grins*

Dont ya though. *grins* my problem would be never leaving the house, i would stay underneath some blankets curled up with someone indefinitely. *laughs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hey that doesn't sound like such a bad idea
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*laughs* indeed. I would have to leave sometime, if only to curl up with them in other spots for a change of pace. *chuckles*

*smiles* thank you, but I don't think it'll happen that quickly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*laughs* you may be for a pleasant surprise. It will happen faster than you'd expect. I am most sure of it. You are simply too good of a person to be left so alone.

I just tell it as i see and feel it to be. *Grins*

and the way you tell it makes me feel good.

That i believe is one of my main life's reasons. I seek to give others what they so richly deserve. one who has suffered so greatly so young needs happiness to be felt. we of the void look after each other as much as we look after everyone else. that is where our pain comes from. we give yet refuse to receive, thinking others need it more, when in truth we need it more from taking on so many burdens from others. who helps the helpers of humanity? the answer is the helpers must also help each other as well as ourselves.

So have I taken up to many burdens? Helped others but ignored myself? Or am I jsut saying this because I want to seem better then some?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
asking such questions leads me to believe that you hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others to. you tend to be really hard on yourself in this reguard. Therefore i will say that you take upon yourself other's suffering to ease thier burden, thus adding to your own because of such morals, and or standards for yourself. you generally care deeply for your fellow man, and will slice your own soul to shreds to protect those you care for. you feel others pain as well as your own. I'd venture a guess that you are empathic.

only in a way that I wish I could ease all my friends suffering and that even if they don't say it I know that they hurt deep within.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you do so by hurting deep within with them. it then causes you more pain by the feeling of frustration that results. you absolutely hate to feel powerless.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true I wish I could help them even when they say they don't need it.

very interesting and so cleverly done. If you published a book of poems, I would buy it.

*grins* thank you. Luckily almost everything I have ever written poetry wise is posted on this sight. My songs are still works in progress. One of these days I'll take the time to finish the music behind them and mix them all down. *laughs* I'll just keep my poems on here. *grins* It will save you money.
