Above All Else Poem by George Damon

The feelings of question, is something I often wonder
For my mind that moment was an easy plunder

For what I felt that second nothing could compare
As my mind was so open it could easily tare

The situation that we got ourselves in
Shook the very earth and froze my only skin

I was not prepared for that moment
My heart was filled with nothing but torment

But the only thought that kept me sane
Was the thought of causing you to be in pain

I felt your heart beat right through my chest
As I could do nothing more but express

The moment was wrong and I did so in panic
But I confess to you it felt like such magic

I do not regret what happened that night
And I do admit it gave me an awful fright

Something that shook me for hours gone by
And I will not lie it made me cry

But this is something I want to remember
To compare with the feeling of my burning ember

My ember is strong and pure and all above
The ember is fueled by your true love
