TOO SOON
A bed that once was so very
warm
Seems cold now that I'm in
it alone
Safe within these bedroom walls
I lie here lonely, waiting
for your call
With my eyelids closing, I
slowly drift away
To a place of the unknown,
a place I didn't want to stay
A vision of a man, or a demon
it would seem
Appeared before me in this
manifested dream
He called upon me in my moment
of weakness
When you were away from me,
and I was surrounded by his darkness
He swore he would take the
thing most dear to me
The life of my true love, which
you happen to be
I pleaded for your life, offering
mine instead
He said it can't be "true love"
and just shook his head
You don't deceive the ones
that you love, he proceeded to say
So you won't mind if I take
his life on this very day
With tears burning down my
cheeks, I said I do love him
But a fight with the devil
is a fight I cannot win
The love I have within my heart
is a love no one else can see
Yet I offer you my life for
his, that says "true love" to me
It was as if time stood still
as I gazed into his frozen eyes
As he said it's you I'm coming
for the next time you tell a lie
I wake myself up, my eyes full
of tears
Regretting everything I've
done these past 17 years
Clenching the covers, I role
over and sigh
Thanking God it wasn't your
time to say good-bye
And kissing your picture that
I hold in my hand
I fade back into the world
of dreams and sand
I would like to dedicate this
poem to my boyfriend Joseph Barron
