"Nothing is official until you say it out loud, that makes it official" - ******

She's been abused by every man she's ever known,
Left and forgotten, beaten and downtrodden,
A decent man is hard to find,
Kinda makes me wonder why,
Where have all the men gone?
Are they all chasing the blonde?
It's a sick sad state we live in,
When a girl like her can suffer the consequence of men's sin
Beautiful and innocent, she entered the world,
Building forts and learning to twirl,
A truer heart will never be found,
With a love like no other around,
Sparkling eyes, excited for life,
Would find her heart at the end of a knife,
And in the evening of the day,
The stars would sing her name,
The moon will keep her safe,
And her father in heaven will protect her from that strafe,
Of the men that walk through her life,
And cause her bitter strife,
The men that are no men at all,
Unable to stand up for their call,
They destroy all that passes through their sight,
Including this girls', sparkling, innocent light,
I am no innocent man myself,
Adding just another scar to all the hurt
And putting all we had up on the shelf,
Turning away the feelings, and hiding them under the table skirt,
Trying to ignore the beauty of our souls entwined,
Allowing my hate to rob my heart blind,
Caught in a moment of pure clarity all things became clear,
turning around and overcoming the fear,
Letting her back in, allowing her near,
The flowers of new life sprouting up in my soul,
After a long lonely winter, eating lonely porridge from a lonely bowl,
Realizing the truth of the feelings encapsulated in my heart,
Preserved forever in a beautiful work of art,
the realization that "I love you" means more than just "I do"
it's deeper than a simple "help me, I'm blue"
it's a divine spark ignited deeper within our hearts,
inspired by the giver of all love, and unable to mark on any charts,
Hoping the mistake I made wasn't irreversible,
I returned, broken and pleading,
seeking forgiveness and unable to stop the bleeding,
The most wonderful, beautiful, honest, true, caring, kind, considerate, loving, unique, and special creation i've ever met,
Listening, silently, patiently, waiting without a fret,
I'd be a fool to not go back,
but I must stand up and prove myself of true character,
That i will not submit to the attack,
I will be a man of pure heart,
And will press on to the end,
Because she's worth every second I'll spend,
Every breathe I've got left,
Because without her, my life will be severely bereft.

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on Xanga... Drop me a comment if you've got some ideas on what to do first - or just to say, "Hi!" :-)
