Can't

Can't

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

Leave Without A Memory.

"
"I reach for the wheel to turn my heart 
 just simple enough to leave the darkness.

 Again for another second to remain in
 loves arms to embrace the once forsaken.

 Moon light brings such moments in solitude 
 while the footsteps leads into my own hell.

 Escaping from distant pain just for the moment 
 can render me away with thoughts that leeks.

 Such anger passes me by smiling into the wind
 staying to walk in the doors to the light to see you.

 Forbidden to enter the gates of our heaven 
 i stand at them hoping to see you again.

 My heart maybe is dark but it beats slowly 
 so that i can reach for your love again.
  
 I burn while in the light as the smell reminds 
 me of once being human just like the rest.

 Pulling on hopes rope to look up and feel
 what i can't have again because of my greed.

 Immortal i may be but it can't stop me 
 from hearing your words that i can't die.

 Not until love touches the darkness within
 my heart then if so it proves that i cannot live. 

 Yet i can't feel what is lost when i can't feel hope
 when it takes me again (The Dark) i can't stop dying." 

 'Command my memory to remain in the heart i can't touch.'
