Style: Poetry
Writer's Statement: My best friend went through a rough time dealing with frustrating people and situations in her life and this was a poem I wrote for her when she was at a low point, to cheer her on. I wanted to let her know that I'll be there for her regardless of where she is or what she's going through. Most people think wanting to be loved or loving has to be a romantic relationship, but sometimes the best forms of love are the people who are with us through highs and lows.
With eyes glowing like stars,
I know you’ll go very far
Maybe even leave me
Finally be free
If that’s what is meant to be
And when they whisper lies
And tears creep from your eyes
I will kiss their foreheads goodnight
Because you’re not going down without a fight
Their words don’t define you
You can bid them adieu
They haven’t got a clue
And now they’re all blue
I will be your haven
Sharp as a raven
If they’re laughing, they’re mistaken
What's been stolen will be retaken
Strong and fearless,
But vulnerable and listless,
You don’t have to be dauntless
Experiences have taught us
Stay your hand in mine
Through darkness you still shine
Dancing with your eyes
We stand on stunning faultlines
As long as this heart of mine is beating,
Our moments won’t ever be fleeting
Oh how I loved our first meeting
When we both had been dreaming
Both hit by reality
An utter catastrophe
Our words have duality
There’s beauty in calamity
Even though many have led you astray,
I am always here to stay
Singing for each and every birthday
My words and heart won’t ever betray
How our humanness clings to one another
Despite the scenic spring
No strings or rings
Just happiness by markings
This is how I love you so
Warmth sets our lives aglow
Let’s dance in the snow
And forget about our foes
My shoulder is where your head rests on
Our hearts will mend from torn
Even in spite of the creeping dawn
We’ll laugh together on the green lawn
