Epitome

- originally written November 29, 2006 -

I want so badly to write a poem
One that is the epitome of what I feel
I want my feelings to finally find a home
For my words to help me finally heal

I would say, stay with me for just today
But when tomorrow comes around
I wouldn't be able to let you go away
This is how deeply we will be bound

But if you cant hold me in your arms tight
And your life takes you to distant shores
I want to be able to finally sleep at night
And not see your face or my hand in yours
