Significant Others Poem by Silver Akira

Close your eyes and trust the ones you love,
To you they mean the world,
But there will always be one person, who shakes you,
And it hurts when they leave,
You would do anything to have them,
But it’s as if they are quicksand,
Slipping right through your fingers,
You long for them to press their lips against yours,
For a moment you just want to be locked in their arms,
In your soul however you know that you want to stay,
And never leave their side,
But for some reason or another they leave you,
However the truth is,
Like you deep inside they are falling apart because,
They realize you were their everything,
You gave them space when they needed,
Shelter from the storms of life,
Love when they so desperately needed it,
Courage to face their toughest fears,
A life when they had none,
Never will they admit these truths aloud,
But it is written across their faces,
Like the pages of a book,
Maybe without your knowledge one day,
Your significant other will return,
And beg for you to take them into your arms once again,
It’s then you decide are they worth the pain and the shame,
And the heartbreak,
Or are you going to leave them alone,
Like in so many,
Heartbroken songs?
