A poem inspired by 'Begin Again'

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 6:55 pm

First off, I'd like to thank Obsidian for this beautiful song http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/01/25/listen-again-to-begin-again/.

This song really spoke to me at heart, and in the last line of the poem I took directly as a song, as this song really speaks to me at heart, I normally don't open up my feelings offline, let alone online, but I wrote this poem based on my feelings, which are for a girlfriend I had for 2 years until April 2010, which because of alot of troubles, we ended up breaking up, and to this day I still can't let go. I'm no English professor, but the pauses are where mental 'pause a second' point's are, if that makes any sense.

Lamentations of the Heart
~ ~ ~

I dream of you nightly, I think of you daily,
No matter how I try, my broken heart can never let go,
No matter how I try to begin again, my heart can not,
Our love, a love ruined with both to blame,
In the night, I am so alone, bittersweet memories,
They are my drug, my secret addiction,
In the memory, I am warm, safe, like a child in its mother’s arms,
When I emerge, I am cold, like a man drenched in the ices of winter,
To begin again would be wonderful, but, my heart can never let go,
Your face a beautiful ghost that haunts my memories,
No matter the day, I think of you, and I long for the love we shared,
Though I know you have let go, I forever cling to a past I cannot part with,
Your voice, it flutters in my ears, a sound sweeter than all the music,
Haunting me, a sound that in memory heals me, and in reality, cuts me,
I love you, and yet, the pain of an unrequited love, ruined by us both,
I try to move on and let go, but I can never love as I have loved you,
You are forever in my memories, a love I cannot let go,
I hide it from the world, who can admit in comfort their addiction,
When will I find that I know to let go?


I know this doesn't really pertain to the Fallout Universe directly, but I felt because something produced by a Fallout developer team had inspired this, I should post it here.
