    Don't Wait Up For Me

      Blinded I am by the sun’s rays
    I shall only come out in the darken days
    But please, don't stay up for me


     It’s hard as it is, I’m afraid you have fallen far too deep
    into the lonely violet light of my soul
    and still you appreciate the quiet and all
    The pain has stolen your sleep


     Loves dark shadow can not only prowl in the day
    but can also enter the realms of dreams
    and still you continue to convince me of the never ending fall


     To me and everyone else it’s bewildering
    but to you it’s as simple as breathing and as difficult to let go
    and the saddest thing is that I appreciate none of it


     You sacrificed your pride; threw it below my feet
    Man loves pride
    But you found something you love more


     Something that in your eyes is perfect
    yet in others, it is filled with flaws that looks can't conceal
    But to you there not flaws but differences
    That you embrace with love
     You dream about them and feel blessed
     
     
    You feel that people like I are needed to help others
    You feel people like I will change the world
    I have hope that I shall
    I just wish I could do the same for you
    Because you have believed…
    It will be hard but I shall live up to it


     Now do I appreciate you, of course… and yes I’m afraid there is such thing as a never ending fall

    I have watched you sink into the dark silent tunnel slowly, gently and unconditionally

    very different kind of poetry to me. you are expressive about this persone. It seems you are trying to understand and react

    the way I I understand this piece is that you busted the love from this guy not cruelly but kindly and that means everything is not hopeless yet. There's still a chance...well yah know? I love this piece, there's honesty to this. This is grand writing...10+

    i am impressed by this work. it paints a good picure in the mind of the reader. I found the line that read - and yes I,m afraid there is such a thing as a never ending fall. On comment though, times there are grammatical errors which can take away from the poem. However, i over looked the errors and found the poem worthy of a 10. Continue you on and I shall be watching you to see how much you grow as you write. And I shall give this poem a rating of 10.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
