You came into my life like a breath of fresh air,
Lit up my world and for me you cared.
It was so beautiful in the beginning this new found light,
It rejuvenated my life and gave me a reason to fight.
But soon the same thing happened like I always fear,
I started acting crazy thinking my light would disappear.
I tried so hard to hold on to you doing all things necessary,
For I feared if you left, a little part of my soul I’d have to bury.
I poured my heart out to you and cared for you deeply,
Little did I realise I was writing the end to our story so neatly.
Amidst all this my insecurity took over,
For I always thought you’d never pick me for as long as you are sober.
I’ll describe for you my situation and tell you why I did what I did,
Sometimes I feel it would have been better if my feelings for you I kept hid.
I thought my relationship with you was similar to that of the earth and sun,
The former wouldn’t exist if the latter stopped to burn.
And soon when this light began to fade,
I believe it was a price to Karma for my actions I paid.
I don’t know what our future will be and all my hope is dead,
Cause I know you’ll go away the day I confessed.

Very well expressed. I think we all need our space and let other’s have theirs . I remembered this quote-
If you love something, let it go. If it returns, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it wasn’t.
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were.
But I believe many things are easier said than done 🙂 Take care

Very nice.
If you don’t mind my saying so, I think you meant “hid” instead of “head” at the end of the second line of the fourth stanza (just in case you want to correct it).

This poem reaches out with honesty and emotion. Sometimes, life (and relationships) take us on an elevator ride . . . are we going up or going down?
