I Thought About You Today

By Crystal Passion

I thought about you today...

always searching,
never finding-
the treasured love I lost
when you chose to leave

I thought about you today...

The day you left
darkness encaptured me.
Like a deteriorating disease,
it slowly ravaged my body
until all that was left were my final breathes...
tiny whispers ready to escape my lips at any moment.

I thought about you today...

You are my candy coated drug.
Sweetest on the outside,
but a dangerously explosive mixture on the inside,
which in large doses would become more deadly
than any other caution found within this hazardous world.

I thought about you today...

Ironic it seems
how that now you want to go,
I make you my priority.
When I had you, I neglected you.
When you left me, I stalked you.
What more can I give?
The world would be such a diminutive price to pay
for the most valuable lover of my life.
Just need only one lifetime in your arms....

I thought about you today....

but...

Didn't you know?

that today...

is everyday

A former member wrote: This is curiously haunting and devouring with it's tender scent of yearning and sadness. It seems a fragility that should be held with care. Very tearful but rather irresistable. Masterly expressed. ~*~ Rose ~*~
A former member wrote: wow...i like the way you expressed your love but hate at the same time this touched me and i can relate
A former member wrote: this was very deep very depressing great word usage this in one word was amazing

A former member wrote: I have a poem similar to this, but probably not half as well written. It's funny how you can't really open your eyes until you're forced to.

I Thought I Commented On This... Curious. Anyway To Be Brief: I Liked. GPhD.
A former member wrote: when there is this much commentary, it seems almost without point or substance to even say anything, but if it makes a difference, its a beautiful piece that made me want to cry and laugh at the same time.

The next time I see someone flip out I shall smile and fondly think of you too Soul :D
A former member wrote: A very moving love poem. The ending summed it up swell. Yay!
A former member wrote: this is really really good. its sad to see that you missed the opportunity to be with this person further, but once you lose something, it is unsafe to dwell upon it. hopefully the poetry helped relieve some of it.
