A poem exploring absolute romantic devotion through deep spiritual imagery, poetic duality, and raw vulnerability.
The speaker elevates their partner to a sacred, life-giving force while grappling with a profound fear of abandonment and loss.
Let us begin.
(A lone voice whispers)
You're my book of revelations
Every page, a divine creation
My alpha and my omega
My rebirth through every weather
You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat
Soft and sacred when you hold me
Life and death inside your eyes
Heaven wrapped in your sighs
And if you walk away from me…
Oh girl, what would I be?
If your faith in me is gone…
Tell me, how do I go on?
You’re my hope… and my joy
My night… and my day
Don’t you ever drift away
You’re my light… when I’m lost
The only truth I can’t deny
Girl, you’re my reason why
Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away
You’re the song my soul can’t destroy
My hope… my joy…
If you leave, I’d be in shadows
Dancing with my broken echoes
Every prayer would sound your name
Every tear would fall the same
You’re the fire in my silence
The calm within my storm of violence
Only you have ever known
The child inside I’ve never shown
So if in me you don’t believe…
Girl, that’s all I’d ever need
To fall apart, to lose my way…
Don’t let our love just fade to grey…
