~nothing is ever perfect~

[neverwas]

as i lay my head on your pillow,
i turn the other way.
wondering how i got this far.
loving you,
for not letting me lose
my way.

day after day goes by
your friendship
it never faulters.
your contagious smile,
your infectious laugh.
your mere prescense
that comforts me
day after day.

you say 'nothing is ever perfect'
that 'it all will fall into place'
but my mind is tierd.
my soul is weary.
i need something to put me back into place.

last night
that dream,
it returned.
you know the one,
where i lose you in a house.
the house full of fire.
full of flames.

the place where my heart,
it shattered once before.
now as its relived,
it shatters,
yet once again.

as you hold me i think
'will my life
my dreams
my hopes
my aspirations
ever be the same?'

or will i continue to strive,
always seeming to struggle.
getting everywhere
but no where
all at once.

but if one thing in my life,
there is that i can rely on.
it is my friends.
it is you.

you/they pick me up when i fall.
you/they hold the recovering key.
the key to my soul.

starfalls is the rock... i could only hope to find a foundation as strong as her... very nice piece lady.

I love this piece, unfortunately for me it reminds me that the 'house of flames' in your poem has really happened figuratively for me in this life. But on the other hand, it makes me *feel* truly feel and that's all I suppose a writer can ask for in their readers? good work sweetie!
