If It Takes Forever

If It Takes Forever

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

I Will Be Here.

"

"Put Me In This Cylinder Of Leeches.

 Let Me Fade Away In Time As An Illusion.

 Catch Me As I Step Into This Dream.

 Drop About And Let Me Float Away Smiling.

 

 Hold My Intentions Of Being Afraid.

 Let Me Drown In This Pool Of Blood.

 Watch Me Be Reborn Into A Monster.

 Looking Into Your Hearts Desire.

 

 Read Me Like An Open Book.

 Make Me As Your Precious Marker.

 Let Me Draw A Line In Your Life.

 Let It Be Me That Steals Your Breath.

 

 Let The Angels Cry For You.

 Let The Demons Bite For You. 

 Let The World Lay As A Wasteland.

 Just Let It Be That You Stand Alone.

 

 Hear In This Page Of Demise.

 How You Life Changed In My Soul.

 Broken And Lost Now Filled With Hope.

 All Was Pain And Forgotten Now All Is Broke.

 

 This Line Of Passion Passes.

 With Time The Darkness Rules.

 Within The Night They Follow You.

 Into The Ever Glowing Light For Release.

 

 If You Really Love Me.

 Then Please Forgive Me.

 How It Was So I Could Not See.

 How Beautiful You Came To Be.

 

 So Take My Hand And Dig My Grave.

 Stand Here And Cry Blood In My Tear.

 Send Me Alone To Tear Apart This Fear.

 But If It Takes Forever Will I Be Saved?"

I truly enjoy this poem. It's well written and has a good flow. So many parts of this poem are fantastic that I can't even choose a favorite. Great work.

This poem says many things about relationships and their ending. It makes us feel so many different emotions all at the same time it is hard to convey those thoughts and emotions but you have done it very clearly in this poem. You have captured the true essence of being broken.

I had to read this multiple times to understand it and maybe that's why I really love this poem, definitely going in my library! I love the very first line "Take my hand and dig my grave"

No surrender nor giving-up... I like the taste of 'Junkyard Dog'.

Take care,
Chris
