I Love You

By Phalanx

I'll walk you home.
I still get shaken when I see you,
Maybe because of what I did and because I still love you.
I keep going over this same conversation in every possible way
I can think of with my heart on a block.
I know and am afraid you may cut me down.
I keep waiting because I'm hoping of all my heart's foolishness
That, you'll see and feel the 'I'm sorry' and what you still mean to me.
I need you to know how it hurt me to drive you into
Someone elses arms.
I dreamnt of you and it drags all my ghosts into the light.
I just want to talk to you again and
If you say no, live inside the memory of your voice
Because, I still love you.
I have to survive, for some reason.
I can't stay because they're coming.
I leave this piece of myself, part of the man I am.
Please find me.

  • A former member wrote: Beautifully written. So much truth in this. Hopefully someday this person will see that the love you have runs deep and pure.
