Elias
Time's passed and I wonder how you are.
Five months still seems so far away
And I can't be there for now
Still stuck in this place wondering how you're doing, growing, not knowing if I can be enough
But I can't wait to see you...
With anxiety and anticipation
Some anger and frustration
building,
In ME.
Yet, here I am, not mincing
my words
for this girl
I've yet to see
But she's not to blame...
Only ME.
And my stupidity.
I'm scared even though I care too much already
To provide
enough for you to rely
On ME.
Your life to be.
Is too much to carry
But the thing I find scary is
Not knowing
If I'm enough
Why ME?
I ask
unable to mask my worries.
This life before me
Past one behind me
Still casts a shadow of doubt.
Then, I see, envisioning.
Your mouth
and hair
and nose
and eyes
These little things
and the world that lies behind them
A future but
I'm not so sure
Of ME.
But I'll fight
I promise
Day in and day out
to never be
like that man I'd seen
Day in and day out
Growing up without
an example.
The life I give
A past I can't forgive
Or forget.
But no matter how much I want it back
I can't let my wants
Run ME.
anymore,
For one
thing now matters more
But I can't ignore
either of YOU.
The TWO.
You, who I call a part of me.
a half of a whole
fully made soul
entirely innocent
Yet the very thing that sent me away
from YOU,
The part of my heart
That just can't depart
From a past that never got to start.
A part of my soul
That, at first, didn't know
It could love
again.
YOU sent life back to a soul near death
This full-fledged
purpose of living
back to the surface
reigniting
ME.
Everything I needed
to survive
and feel alive
again.
Still, sadder is the truth
That it doesn't matter what
YOU'VE done
because now
I have to be done
With YOU
