Love Poetry: Remember Our Love

by Kayla Barnett

'heart racing

fast breathing

deeply thinking

could you be real

completely perfect and everything i

would wish for and hope for

please dont let me drop

off this cliff im holding onto

i want you to be the one

to pull me up and

help me with my struggles

and work through everything together

ive been hanging onto

barely nothing

trying to yell for help

whenever someone trys to help me

i entrust everything into them and then

they laugh and let go

i start my struggle completely over

with new ones that hurt even more

then the prvious ones

that ive had to deal with on my own...

can you just promise to me that you wont let me go

you will at least help me up enough to

where i can get out by myself..

ive struggled enough

that im not sure how much more i can take

i want a relief to come my way

stretch your hand out and use your strength to pull me up

isnt love where you support and help each other

where you would do anything for that person...

i havent seen this in so long that im not sure if i

will ever seee this

could you please just help me get a better grip on the ledge

if you help me a little bit then i can do the rest on my own...

but what i do not realize is that you were there the whole time..

right below me..

risking everything that you could have for my own life

to let me even have the chance to make it..

a small chance to make me feel even a little bit of happiness

how could i be so selfish to have thought of me then of you

oh please forgive me and dont worry about me..i want you to

be the one to remember our love..

take it on and tell the world how we had each other

how i had you and you had me

had me completely overwhelmed because you made sure that

i was always taken care of...

take my place and know that i may struggle and yell for help..

but i would rather have this pain then for you to have to struggle..

true love is what you have shown me....

now let me show you..

ill take your place and ill take your struggle

now climb over me...climb onto the safe ledge...

you see me but dont help me..

this is something i have to do on my own...

go on and remember me...

but know that you will be apart of what made me of who i am..

i am a strong women that knows who i am..

i will get discouraged, sad,upset,hurt,and many things....

but one thing that i can not do is give up on myself....

i will always survive and make it out.......'
