With The Shadows..

With The Shadows..

A Poem by Jennifer Ellen

If you could see me write,
With only using dark shadows,
So I could show you the light,
Through this painful window,

I could show you the darkness enclosed in me,
But your love is whats keeping me alive,
If you could see it clearly,
Our love shall never die,

I would write in shadows what you meant to me,
Write every word in my heart,
But sometimes shadows fade,
Sometimes love is hidden,

Could we look at this differently,
And find out what we are,
'Cause I miss having the certainty,
That we could be for eternity,

The pain in my chest has captured me,
It holds me hostage to my fear,
As you seem just so far away,
Not just in distance but in emotion,

We are losing out connection,
Our bond of love that we share,
Even in the shadows,
The light is slowly going to disappear,

I reach for you,
Just so you can hold me tight and never let go,
So I know our love can grow,
But our hands never meet,

I will fall in the black abyss,
Without you I cant live,
You, and only you, have my love,
Don't let me fall away again,

But as for my heart,
It is still captured by fear,
The fear I am falling,
Falling ever so far away,

The shadows I have written in,
They are now fading,
The darkness is starting to fully enclose me,
I can't see clearly,

I can't reach you,
I feel as though you can't see my love,
For darkness is taking me,
Taking me from this world,

696 days,
Each one moves by to slow,
Each one makes you seem farther away,
Like you will never come,

Yet through this cold air,
I will scream with all the strength I could spare,
I will scream your name,
As I fall into the shadows and dark,

The cold air is suffocating me,
I can't breathe,
You are my life,
But yet I am dying,

If I could skip through time,
I would skip past this part,
This longing to be close,
Past the fear of falling,

I would skip past where I know you were mine,
To the part,
Where you would never let me go,
I wish I could escape to tomorrow.

I am a beautifully broken poet. I wonder why the world has so much hate in it. I hear my heart beat loud as I look at what’s to come in my life. I see the words from my heart flow out and ont.. more..
