What You Are To Me

You were a mythical creature

Strong and untameable

Rare and desired

You were one of a kind


Someone who I always forgave, but never forgot

Who could say the word, and I’d come running

Who would lie, and I’d desire more

Someone who I could never have


You were like the fires in hell combined with the sun in heaven

Burning in my soul, creating an uncontrollable storm

A hurricane with no peaceful eye

A deadly, raging wind

That I could never escape, nor tame


Your soul was broken and cold  

Alike the icicles falling, stabbing me

Making my heart bleed and my soul weep

The heart, bleeding out for you, giving you everything, in return for pain

And the soul, weeping for the gentle heart, who foolishly stayed under the falling icicles


You were complicated

An unsolvable equation

A foolish mistake

But I was too foolish to learn my mistake 


And now I’m left

With a bleeding heart,

A crying soul, 

And raging winds,

That spin as fast as my mind when I think of you


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece by a series of different poems, some about heartbreak, others about happiness, but all sending the same message: that people can cause great joy and also great pain.
