Inspired pair: Brendan and Ste
Your pain infects us slowly,
It rattles your body and consumes you,
You cannot see the blossoming love in front of you,
Memories taunt you,
Rage possess you,
But I saved you,
From the edge of the cliffs,
From the raging sea,
From the dark abyss,
To your darkest dreams,
**
I know you love,
With passion that burns,
And that is your curse,
So you shut away your love,
Depended on pain and hate,
Leave it to fester and grow,
By that misguided your fate,
I know you love,
I see it in a glimmer in your smile,
A touch,
A hug,
Tired eyes,
Windows to your soul,
Shows your love,
**
But you're afraid,
Lost,
Blinded by rage,
Molded by pain,
All one in the same,
So you speak in riddles,
Disjointed,
twisted,
Spit words to hurt,
Actions to inflict pain,
You cannot see straight,
Hindered by your darkness,
Rely on your pain,
You are still afraid,
But I saved you,
And still love you,
Something you cannot explain,
For your heart yearns,
And your love is still bleeding,
Through gaping holes,
Weary walls,
You made to lock away,
Your love,
Our love,
That you lost along the way,
You did not understood it,
Hit you by surprise,
Freighted you,
And challenged you,
But now you cannot deny,
Or run from it,
But you cannot give in,
For hatred and pain are behind,
Sharp claws deep within,
Holding onto you,
Still depending on it,
Fogging the way,
But now I know you love,
And in time,
It will be clear,
For seasons change,
But love will remain the same,
It cannot be altered,
Just easily misplaced,
because these feelings are forever,
even when times change,
That's why I know,
I still love you.
I was listening to a song by "Explosions in the sky - your hand in mine" and I was inspired as well as Brendan and Ste's relationship. The poem is somewhat the unspoken problems and Ste's understanding and general expressing of Brendan darkness, for their love and just beautifully sad.
