Okay, well, it's been awhile since I updated this thread, and I was randomly inspired to write another poem. This isn't really directed toward anyone in particular, but if you must have something fixed in your head as the "you" in the poem, think of him more as...an idea of my "perfect soulmate". Well, here you go. Hopefully, those of you who still check this thread will enjoy it.

Tangle of Roses

Watch as I fade from the fabric of time. Will you rescue me from mediocrity? I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to sing. If pain is beauty, I must be radiant. Stay here with me tonight until the dawn steals you away from me again. Why must you only inhabit my dreams?

Kiss me, and tell me again. Hold me, and whisper sweet love in my ear. Touch me, and make me feel real. But how can you do such when you’re just a wisp of a fragment of a dream? Oh, the paradox kills me. And I lay down in my tangle of roses, wishing for you to appear.

Distant stars shine down upon me, cold and uncaring. I inhale the scent of life, but it holds no promises for me. Without you, I’m only half of who I was meant to be. The memory of the taste of your lips haunts my entire world. The fire burns down, and the shadows creep in. But why do you refuse to coalesce into reality?

Kiss me, and tell me again. Hold me, and whisper sweet love in my ear. Touch me, and make me feel real. But how can you do such when you’re just a fleeting reminiscence of a vision? Oh, the paradox kills me. And I dance alone through the jagged thorns, hoping for healing from you.

When this world is ending and all hope is fading, when the sun and moon explode in their death throes, even then, I will wait for you, wrapped in the breeze in my bed of dying flowers. Save me before my spirit is extinguished and I slip into the realm of obscurity.

Kiss me, and tell me again. Hold me, and whisper sweet love in my ear. Touch me, and make me feel real. But how can I find you when I know not who to look for? Oh, the paradox kills me. And I weep in my sanctuary of blossoms, losing myself in despair.

All I ever wanted was vibrancy. All the world ever gave me was black, white, and gray. All I ever wanted was passion. All the world ever gave me was monotony.
