Since I don't want to start the forum off completely empty, I'll share with you a poem I wrote my sophmore year of high school.
CATACOMBS
I stand watching as you lose yourself in the endless catacombs of misery
And I see through numbed eyes
That you really don't have any idea where you are going
So I follow you into the darkness
I see you trip and fall flat on your face
Over and over again
And during those brief moments when you try to gather yourself again
I get so close behind you I wonder why you cant feel my breath on the back of your neck
But I know you are aware of my presense
It is just so dark you can't find me
I am right behind you, whispering reasurring words in your ear
And although you refuse to admit it you know I'm here
You try so hard to pretend you aren't afraid
That you know just what you are doing
But you also know I've been here before
I know you hate to admit it but I have no doubt you are glad I never left you
You can tell them all you made it through alone
I'm just here to keep you safe in these cold dark caverns
To take first and second watch
So that you are completely rested for the hardship of tomorrow
And my presense doesn't make the journey any easier
But at least now you know you aren't alone
From now on all you have left is me and I know that keeps you going
Just know that you can sleep better knowing I'll keep the fire burning brighter
I watch you as you are sleeping
I can see you crying even after the day is dead and gone
And I wish that I could wash all the pain from the corners of your eyes
Because you know there's no way out of here
That you are just walking further and further into absolutely nothing
But you don't turn back because you would rather be here with me
I'm giving up everything as well but I would rather spend eternity being nothing less than your second soul
This cycle is never ending
So I will follow close behind you even when death has picked up our trail
Because I'll still love you after the end
