You have your love,
I have my darkness,
You pour your heart,
I divulge my soul,
You have your lover,
I have my black dog,
You write of the future,
I disdain my past.
You write of rainbows,
I write of dark clouds
You write in free verse,
I drown in rhymes,
You are a writer,
I write in hiding,
When you’ll write of heartbreaks,
I’ll write of hope.
You bloom under sunbeams,
I strengthen with lightning,
Our swords are the same
Just not our pattern of fighting,
When my clouds dissipates
And you, darkness visits
Here are my words,
To keep you company.
You have your love,
I have my darkness,
We both need each other,
In a world that keeps changing.

I soooo love this…the contrasting ideas/thoughts written in two simple verses make it more powerful yet there remains a sense of stillness and solitude..

Like a mirrored self in time with the heartbeats chime, look up in to self reflection to see a stranger regretful painful, plaguing the same veins, trying to relive those thoughts, time and time again exhaling the end of the same old day each doing in our own destructive way. Still all the same though still so far away. This is your destructive sympathy x

Wonderful poem and so mucht ruth in it! Everyone probably has experienced some of both sides and hopefully have learned a bit from each. We do not live in a perfect world, but we can share our joys and sorrows and learn from each other and various experiences.
