Bearer of My Eyes, Stealer of My Breath
By WoundsLikeStars
My greatest fear is that I will pass my disease on to you
Apathy,
self-inflicted despair, anger, and purposeful hopelessness.
You are an angel, filling my heart with unspeakable joy
And
I, your unworthy benefactor, can only hope you learn to ignore...
Ignore my unqualified opinion on everything
Ignore my hateful views
on life
Ignore my simple resistance to harmony
Bearer of
my eyes, stealer of my breath...
Ignore all that I do in the name
of "self."
Your existence is a double edged sword, however...
For you have forced me to do something I have forbidden
Not allowed
Anyone, myself included, to do...
You have forced me to find
good in me
....and it is there....
So, in the name
of continuity,
Observe my unbridled passion for words
Observe
my never ending search for truth
Observe my holy love for you
Carrier of my name, thief of my soul
Observe my life being meant
for you
