Andrea W... Poems

who knew that what i'd see in you was gold wrapped in plain paper
or that I'd travel so far down the road to your door
but while i was adoring the beauty inside you
i didn't see the rock in the path that caused me to fall
...

I saw the storm clouds gather before the rain began to fall

I thought I was prepared enough to stand against it all
...

I want to wear you all around me
Your heartbeat, the clock of my eternity
I want your very breath to be my entire world.
Surround me....
...

I should have gone to bed with my dreams of you
Things that wouldn't happen but ease my tortured heart
I smile when I think of you this way, someone who loves me
Me, and not the image created in your mind.
...

I just want everything to go back to the way it was before
The world was bright back then with the blossoming of joy
Why must the happy things in life always be prone to change
I want you back, my boy
...

You were once a caterpillar

My heart was your chrysalis
