True Loves Bases Poem by Christian Hayes

words from the heart
how they unite a couple of lost souls
the bondages of a past lifetime suddenly holds them no longer
pain they both feel subsides for a few precious moments
things are clearer or could they become still more convoluted?
yes, my friend
that is power of words from the heart

two lovers face themselves with confusion
yet to live the life of sorrow on their shoulders
or to take a step back and realize the truth
that is hidden within the heart of true fate

but she was too naive to realize
abuse is what she did
advantage is what she took
and now it's too late
she'll never hold the world again
so here she sits
stranded in a limbo
she can't move forward
she's too far gone
in the past she's happy to stay


a backwards step may reveal a truth
a truth so simple it went unnoticed
what she wants is all around
yet it isn't what she yearns for
she may have held the world within her arms



but as she looked more to the past
her heart grew cold and dark
the love of the past was the nightmare that always took place
and yet she yearned for it to return
and to have her heart be held once more
only to be swept off of her feet
in a baled for two
of ones true love
that was too hard to find

the boy still waits
on the stair of his home
to the mansion of nothingness
he needed her in his arms
and it never seemed to come
always trying to let it out but too afraid to be heard
if she only knew what she meant to him
o if only she would take him in her arms
and let the hearts be one

the dream would be reality
and the nightmare undone


ah but still another truth be found
she's not ready to love again
nor will she ever be?
the time isn't right she says
the feeling isn't there
the love of a friend is far from the love between too lovers

and yet he knew that the love of a friend was enough
and with or with out her in his arms
there would still be the love
the love of a friend
and the love of understanding

and with that he left
in order to find her
to see that face in which he speaks
o how could he explain the meaning of love in his life
it was like the oxygen in which needed to live
and yet it was the poison that will bring him to his death

and with these parting words
the ending of a story unfolds
forever within my heart you'll be
as dear friends always do
no less no more
it's perfect this way
you'll see.

and as this story ends
the stage of heartache will follow
just as the next almost lover
will come at a very slow pace

the ending of a story
is but the beginning of another
think not of heartache
but the aspect of starting anew
embrace this revival
or be consumed by self-pity
alone at a crossroads
so it may seem
but take a look around
many a friend stands with you
you are never alone
unless you choose to be

but in the face of love
you are always alone
and we find within our very own hearts
that love is a key
and friendships the door
and now they are forced to
be open


it is sad to find that love
such a beautifully sinister thing
has thwarted such a free spirit
he sees no more
the beauty in love
but only the harmful effects
what does it take
to rescue such a person?
it takes not a helping hand
but desire to change from within
few have what it takes
fewer have the ability to change
once they have been lost
to take a step towards the light
brings two steps back into darkness
but do not be afraid
and when admits turmoil and confusion
do not latch onto whatever you can
be strong and find your own way
and do believe that you are not alone

leaving was never an option
even if ones life makes it that far
but turning back was a hard option to find

and with someone along his side
the road seemed a bit lighter
and he could see wrong from right
along with the truth

love was a hard thing to find in him
not to give it or to show it
but to receive it at the same cost
freedom

And at this point freedom was nothing
But another obstacle
In this life of love
And at this point
The story was already told
