To want for death Is that such a crime

To beg for life to end Is that such a loss?

What does death mean For those who cherish life and all its mysteries?

What does life hold For those that long for its end?

What is loss when all is sorrow and pain? What is joy when life is nothing but remorse and regret?

Where has my life gone, it has slipped through my hands like grains of softly silted sand. Where has the time flown? I wish I could remember times of my cherished and sacred childhood.

Moments of joy and happiness. Times spent with innocence and laughter.

I long for those times now, long for it with the lust of all my adult years. I want more and more to be by your side, you bring me that completion of my lost childhood.

I dream of being with you and my longing for death is lost. Brushed aside by the light of your life. Light for so long has been my hated enemy. Dreaded and shunned from its warmth. I spend most of my time longing for its comfort. But you.

You give to me the light of life and the brightness of joy. You have brought to me the splendor of all that was missing. You have given so much without a single thought otherwise. And for that I am eternally grateful.

You. you are the brightness of my soul and the light that carries me forward. You guide me to be better and lift me to a higher plane.

But mine is not the role of lover, nor is it the role of friend. I am less than both and so much more than either. I will forever treasure and cherish you for you are the greatest of all gifts. I will wait for you with a patience that is boundless and eternal. My life shall end before my love for you finds the answer to its thirst.

Desperate and pathetic is my need but again I remain frozen. To love you is to free you and to need you is to have you. Desperate and pathetic forever bound to you, forever held from you. With one hand I pull with the other I push. forever caught in this torturous two-step. And with one hand you let go and with the other you hold on. confused as to how you feel about me. But one day you will be free of your confusion, and I shall fall behind. and my love is strong enough to survive, but my heart is not. It is too fragile after too long left outside of your light. It is frozen and fractured like a crystalline rose.

My only beauty shines from you. You are all that is worthy within me. But to be your salvation and to give you all that you can have. I must lose you. and with that the crystalline rose shall fall.

Once shattered to never mend again. and where the rose shatters so to does this life. empty and hollow, glittering and jeweled. nothing lasts forever within the walls of eternity. So I shall mourn my loss then move on. my death bringing me the release from this chrysalis. moving from my fate to my destiny
