To Whom It May Concern Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

Have you ever loved so much
That it almost was your pain?
Did each kiss and every touch
Help you to the hurt sustain?

I was a victim like you once:
For having loved too deep;
And poorly being but in a trance,
I was like one asleep!

Love has swept me off my feet,
And made me think I was alive.
Oh! I've finally felt complete;
Alas, I just could not survive!

I lie awake in bed at night,
And watch the dark moon's gleam;
It's not its own, this heavenly light,
Like someone else's dream.

But I may just not be like you,
Lucky, my friend, but true maybe;
True enough to yet dream anew,
Or stay awake for eternity!

I thought the answer was to let go,
And do try to love again;
But the more I did the more it did grow:
The scar, inside a dead terrain.

I'm writing this for you, my friend,
And hope that you'll see:
Not to love is not the end,
Nor alone's to lonely be!
