Poetry On Odyssey: New Phases

You were the rainbow after the storm.

Couldn’t ever see the light in someone else’s scares,

Hangin like a shadow he can never figure out who or what he wants to be.

Dragged me through the mud after every word you would speak,

I came out bruised but still unable to defeat,

Blood drips from my lips and decorates my clothes but he never noticed.

I knew I couldn’t take anymore from him but I wanted to taste the pain he hid away,

To see a world kept in the dark,

But he turned out to not be that deep,

A cheap knock off really but not many can see.

He couldn’t see me as an equal of an intelligence,

Told me my thoughts and ideas were insane,

Yet he could not see the mistake he would soon make,

A relationship based only on the sensation of touch and dry conversation,

No connection just led to some sick depression.

Then I met you

Someone who can see the beauty behind my eyes,

A soul who feels like sunshine and has a voice as soft as a gentle rain,

As delicate and gentle as a flower,

Yet as strong and beautiful as a tree.

Let me get lost in your eyes,

And drown in your ocean,

I want to taste the bitter and the sweet on your tongue,

To be so close I can feel the blood pump through your veins,

And to explore the galaxy that is your mind.

Take my hand and dance with me in the moonlight,

I want to be your dark and your light.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
