We do not second anything
We met before
I don’t recall where
I don’t think you remember either
You been in heaven quite a while
I been in hell too long

I do know we had a story
Over the years, I have been telling it
You don’t seem to remember that either
For that, I shall remind you

I was born in the eye of a hurricane
you climbed Jacobs ladder
I once designed a world so perfect that I had the divine right
You had next in line

I declared myself a one of a kind

I fell on earth once
Which made it hard for Atlas
Since, I took my sweet time getting up, I caused the continents to break apart

Helium is what I craved
So you gave it to me

We walked through the sun, and felt its heat
With our good looks it was no math for us
Like the impossible?
I am a mystery

But, so are you

Once you got me so angry that I caused 2012 to happen
Giving hate a chance to love
Every beginning had an ending
I decided what began and what ends
With you as my wing man of course

And, well love took its turn

Every day the world told me that I am loved
It told you that you are needed
With its hidden secrets that yet anyone but us was to know about
The world wanted to know why things just happen?
I assured the world it isn’t because they simply do
In return for its love, I gave the world my heart
You gave my heart a beat


”Love shall live forever on“, we said

Our generation created life
I once created apples
Sins ended up creating forgiveness

We were the ones who were quickly judged
Nothing knew of us
Nothing except our mistakes and what I once had
We were not perfect
So don’t say we were
I got what I wanted, but I work for it
You got what you wanted because I gave it to you
We earned our stripes and we kept them

We were too real to seem fake

I cried hail
You smiled gold
I even spitted the truth
You walked on water
And yet, I was able to cry the river

We could have done anything if we tried

We tried, we succeed
Everyone else tried, they failed
We weren’t a competition

Nor a joke


The author's comments:
I dont often submit poetry of mine to any sites. I am a shy girl who just go's with the flow. From this piece I am not trying to say that I am better then you or anything. But, to tell a fictional story in a poem to entertain the reader. Something that is different. Something that would help them build there self-conifence up as well as mine :]to show the reader, anything is possible. Because its true!

what happen in your life is temporary because things change so dont worry where you are. i like how courage you are to love knowing it might end anytime but yur faith will last forever.(:
