Because

Because

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

I Said So.

"
"The Verge Of My Sacrifice.
 Is My Glass Heart Within.
 Reflecting The Scars You See.
 They Become Past Mistakes.

 I Must Learn To Love Again.
 Or My Lost Soul Will Fade.
 Away Into Your Eyes I Invade.
 Taking And Breaking You.

 It's My Wrong Of Selfishness.
 I Can't Undo What I've Done.
 But I Can Make It Up To You.
 Us-Our Bond That Is Torn.

 Palms Face Down On The Edge.
 Of The Pool Of Hopes I Cry.
 I've Lost You And My Job.
 Nothing Is What I've Got.

 Tear By Tear Falls Ripples.
 The Echoing Doom Within Me.
 Has Shown Me The Respect.
 Of Lifes Failures And Doubts.

 I Don't Know What To Do. 
 I'm Stuck I'm So Indescribable.
 Losing The Tricks My Mind Gives.
 It's Time For Me To Stand Up.

 I'll Take Karma's Slap To The Face.
 But I Know This Story Is Ending.
 Your Last Question To Me Was.
 Why Do You Still Love Me After All This?

 Because You Keep Me Alive."

Hmm... I think I'll have to take your writing in small doses. Hits the bullseye for me a little too often, I realize, as I read one after the other. Powerful and very descriptive!

" Us-Our Bond That Is Torn." - powerful line friend,
I myself believe that "truth in love" will conquer all...
time, distance, sacrifice, when wrapped in the arms of the one you love.
It fades and replaces doubts, loss with love...

Powerful Write through out

Heartbreaking read, i found myself verging on a tear at parts, beautifully printed. A delightful read.

very intricate in detail
and I love the last line, sums up all of what you convey.
Jason, I feel we are kindred spirits. I confess others find my poetry "dark" and I find your as well in that same darkness. But does darkness not live in the absence of light. Not all things are light, but darkness dominates the pain in me. Light does not mirror pain so, this is where I must lay in the desperate times. Standing alone. I love your work!
