Nietzche
Bluelighter
If it weren’t for the tests
You had me endure
And all of the turmoil,
My search for a cure,
I’d never have loved you
Nearly as true.
You drained my emotions
My heart hurts with you
Then filled me with wonders
Beautiful and new!
It now seems worthwhile
The months in denial,
And time spent pining
To find my lost friend
I welcome it all
With open arms
And a heart made strong
Through hardships long
A soul infused with joy
And the many memories
That inhabit me
The second guesses have not prevailed
The doubts and worries
Now all seem so pale
They return no reflection
As I remove my veil
And think as I must
The torments and aguish
Were entirely just
So from the perspective
Of a boy still naïve
Who embraced all of the worst
And accepted his curse
I have always believed
That my feelings for you
Were never deceived
So never will I trade
The sweetness of our days
Nor exchange for a chance
To have never fought
To have not overcome
In caring for you
I proudly take my stance
One look at your face
And I wish beyond measure
That I was able
To see through your eyes
The self that I gave
The hurt and the loss
And what memories you save.
My wounds have all healed
And before you I kneel
You ask why I love you
I say I need time
To put into words
The blessed feelings all mine
The memories of happiness
And the wounds cast through pain
To live for the future
I insist I am sane
And though I have seen the worst
I return to the game
Been delt painful losses
Yet my anger stays tame
I cannot forget the love you imparted
Nor the ache in my heart
When I thought we departed
And the warmth of my soul
Contented and whole.
Still locked in a test
I give you my best
And my love for you will
Remain picturesque.
