Almost Paradise
In my reach, far too near
But not quite, and so I fear
That I have lost my only chance
At ever finding happiness
Looking back, I just don't see
What swayed you to, not choose me
My heart forever cracked and sore
Will still always come back for more
Through stormy skies, and piercing cries
Long forgotten lullabies
Holding breaths so mirror cold
When it's your breath I want to hold
Memories that I shall keep
Sooth the demons in my sleep
Rage and anger seeping out
Leaving me in stranded doubt
I've fallen in, I'm trapped inside
This self inflicted suicide
Miles since have long passed by
But misery and desperate try
To take you in my poor embrace
And to confess, devoid grimy haste
With words so deep and meaningful
Of why you are so beautiful
But those are gone, those hopeful days
Of your surrender to his ways
And so I've had to sacrifice
My maybe almost paradise

So I've been trying to work on chapters for my current fanfictions, but school has me in essay mode and I find it impossible to write anything that I find half decent. I wanted to write a fanfiction for "Boys Before Flowers" for a while now, but as I said, writing is just not possible right now for me. But I've been in a poetry mood and this sort of just flowed out of my mouth one day, and after scratching out lines on paper, and vigorously typing and replacing random words on the computer, I finally have a poem for it! I really like how this turned out, but please leave your feedback. I would like to know what others think.
Reviews much appreciated
