My life was filled with laughter, happiness and joy When you and I were friends together with no interrupting ploy I had you and you had me We were two who knew that they were free One day I saw you tease another with jeers Her eyes were hollow, edged with clear, cold tears I was first to realise she was crying But you didn't realise that on the inside she was dying Until I told her to lift her head, and show them what she means And you apologised, took her in and loved her more, it seems Both started to ignore me, and I could feel the pain It hit my heart sharply, like hot knife rain You liked her better, I realised, and I was now not there Ripped aside by fear and strife and sadness plain and bare You did sense it, but in vain you did not care How could you know the one that had that emptiness, and despair I knew you didn't like me anymore Something opened in me heart- a gash, a sore I was wounded mentally, a strike that can never heal It eats at me still, but I shall never reveal For what is open inside of me can never be safely sealed. I sit and watch you and her filled with laughter, happiness and joy It didn't take you long to find yourself another toy She has you, and you have her The ordinary person could not tell what had just occurred I dive into the churning waters of hatred, disbelief And wait for you to rid yourself of that devilish theif But as I sink further into the dark, I realise it wasn't her, nor you I tried to steal you back, the robbery is me, too You let her do as she wishes You never let me run free, like the fishes They have nothing much to care for But I know that she is the one you truly adore As I sink into the depths of despair, My heart is hollow Emptied of all emotion, only brimmed with sorrow I'm dying now, slowly, I'm running out of breath I spread my arms out wide to welcome the call of death My problem is unable to solve Unless the time reverses, and loyalty unfolds I'm forgotten in your mind now, just a star among the skies I am now too distant for you to hear my desperate cries Farewell my lovely times with you I have to bid you my due I cannot build the strength to say it to your face for I know that I do not belong in a joyful place I suddenly feel an urge to fight despairing fate But then I feel that now it's too late I drift down, watching the blood as it floats up to the surface wide You can see them, I know from where you turn the tide The ocean of tears sting my eyes But I don't care, now I wait to die Though then I see a shape blundering towards me It's one that I recognise, are you hear to set me free? It is you, I see, and next to you is her.. She doesn't look worried, she's waiting for your rebellious spur I choke on blood as you try to pull me back I try to come, but I stiffen as I hear a deafening crack My heart has split again.. I feel you screech in fear I shake my head at you, to let her stay, keep her near I'll find someone else to go to, please don't worry for me But maybe I'll find nobody else, and I'll be forever free No, of course I won't, I'll be picked up soon enough Maybe by another traitor who'll cause me darkness rough You take her, I'll take me I'll be alone, finally I'll know that you cared at the start and very end just as my road rounded that dangerous bend I watch you slowly rise to to top I still descend down, I know I'll never stop But the new start is coming up ahead Maybe I can start over there, refresh my head Even though I will find no friend like the friend I was friends with I know that that friend will come, and she won't be hard to find. The depths of despair, yes, i've been there before. Cast aside, into the deep whilst you two dance ashore But now I've found a place I'd like to be forever more Dance, my dearest one, dance until you have received your call. ------- So... that's a poem, believe it or not. It's based off a true event in my life right now, but I'm still going, trying to come back to the surface and end my descent. That poem is called Depths of Despair, and that parallax thing is there to go with it. :) Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed that, I love writing poems, so, If you want any form of one, you can come and tell me,, Not that you will... Anyway, see you later! -------- CREDITS: Art, coding and poem ~ All by me Poem & art story ~ A true event in my life
