emptymirror's blog: "poetry"

I have been chosen since birth to be an outcast,

What are the odds, out of a universe so vast,

That I'm picked, the nice guy to finish last,

This, a world of the future, where as I'm a creature of the past.

I have something nobody else has, a power over you,

Everyone either loves or hates me, nothing I can do,

Like magnets, some are drawn to me, some pushed away,

Life's a coin for me, always two sides, like night and day.

On the outskirts you'll find me watching life go by,

Envy nearly consumes me, but sorrow finishes me off.

My only wish is to either be amongst the others or die,

to be like the rest of them, not have to watch them scoff.

I have been chosen since birth to be surrounded but alone,

It feels as if the solitude has scarred me to the bone,

But out of the darkness and misery around me you shone,

Stripping away all of my defensesm leaving me prone.

You caught and helg my attention like a fragile bird,

You unlocked what I'd forgotten, slumbering emotions stirred,

I couldn't believe I'd found someone who filled the holes,

renewed energy filled me, feeling the heat of our touching souls.

But then reality set in, we are millions of miles apart,

With no way to get to each other for a few years,

The realization worse then being stabbed in the heart,

I have to wait to hear you laugh or to wipe away your tears.

I was chosen by fate, to fall in love and have to wait,

To endure the worlds chaos, darkness, and hate,

To think about you until it has gotten late,

 Patience I have though, maybe I was chosen for that trait.
