"Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art."
~Felix Gonzalez-Torre


I linger in a dreamscape
A world of diamonds hidden beyond the rough midst of fabricated light
As I wait in the darkness of the night
The whisper in the wind is my lullaby
The Moon and Sun dividing my heart into two
The only extremity holding me in the vague grasp I feel is you
And as nightmares of what will be
Flutter my mind with misery
I wait for you in my forever darkness haunting
I'll wait for you
For your absence is my taunting
How could I convince myself
Why did I want to believe
It is simple
But it is also too complicated to understand
All I wanted was to take your hand
For it is you that I have fallen under your captivating grasp
It is stupid really
A childish intention
I believe to be too much to ask
I walk the distance of life itself
For time takes it all away
I will be waiting in my forever darkness
Until you give me the light of day

The band Evanescence has always been a huge influence on my writing. This poem was definitely inspired by them. I had this stored in my computer for a whle and I wanted to share this with you guys, in hopes that you'll like it.

It has been two years since you posted this comment and I am reading this for the first time. I apologize for never responding, that's why I am now. This comment means so much to me, and I am thirlled that I inspired you that is my main goal when I write. Did you ever figure out how to express your feelings toward the girl you like?
