Beauty Or The Beast

To the One I Wish I could have Saved...

40
Beauty Or The Beast

I wrote this poem to apologize for how I used to treat someone I dearly care about. At the time, I was trying to find my identity in our relationship, but was still convinced that God can redeem. Now, only one of those philosophies has changed for me. I no longer find fulfillment in an earthly relationship, but I love God with all that I am.

To the One I Wish I Could Have Saved

Back in the day,

I was desperately Frightened and lost my way.

Until he came riding in on a noble black steed,

The one I ironically tried to save.

He never promised forever,

And even though his heart was cold,

I could see beauty and fear passed his strong mold.

He called me beauty,

Even when I ate like a beast.

I loved him with my everything.

But now I look back,

And I was the beast,

He thought he needed my saving,

But I could never grant him that gentle release.

God loves him,

And I wanted to tell him that,

But he could not listen to my thunderous roar.

Because in my heart I was defeated,

In my life, I lived so sore.

To the one I could have saved,

I apologize.

I only made it all worse.

Because a beauty who really was a beast,

Told you our fairytale was the only sweet release that would give you peace.

To my night riding a dark steed,

I wish I would have saved you.

I wish I would have given you God’s heart.

But I gave you my own instead.

And now you are broken,

Left to drugs that break your heart and head.

And I am the princess.

Forever a beauty.

But the beast that convinced you that I was your savior.

When in reality,

You deserve only One savior.

To the prince who now knows nothing but hurt,

God loves you more than I ever could,

My love was truly dirt.

Because I was never the beauty

Who was meant to tame your beast.

I am the beast,

Whose heart was tamed by a lamb.

I am the beast,

Who wants now to apologize.

I am sorry that I could not save you, I really am.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
