From The Mind Of A Writer

This didn’t show up correctly the first time so I’m reposting it.

Endlessly

*

All she wants is someone to love her endlessly

Say it with actual meaning,

Not just to get her clothes off.

She wants to feel something real

Something to fill the emptiness

Not something she has to buy

Like drugs and alcohol

She wants a love that will not fade

When the light of day

Spreads across the room.

*

He’s been pining for her for so long

That almost every ounce of his sanity is gone

They’ve been friends for so long

That he’s afraid to tell the truth,

So he’s forced to sit by

Watch her throw away her life

And then act as though he doesn’t know

All the while never letting his feelings show.

And everyday that he doesn’t say what he feels

He’s forced to watch her endlessly fall apart.

*

Her life has turned into a giant mess

These days, she doesn’t feel she has a reason to get dressed

What’s the point when the boys will just tear them off anyway?
Another party,

Another drunken guy all over her

Another one night stand,
Another bathroom wall,

With her name and number all over it

“She doesn’t want money

She doesn’t want drugs

She’s real easy,

Just throw out the line

I’ll love you till the end of time

She’ll do whatever you want.”

*

The rumors have begun to flood

He can’t fight it anymore

He has to tell her she’s his world.

*

A stolen kiss.

He finally takes that chance.

She wonders why

Then she runs and hides

He tells her he loves her

But all she does is ask why

“Because you’re you”

Doesn’t seem to suffice.

So he says the next best thing

That he’ll love her endlessly.

*

She thinks it’s just a cruel joke,

So she shoves him away and then she goes

Gets in her car and starts to drive

But a drunk driver hits her as she’s passing by,

The last thing she remembers thinking

Is “This is finally the end of me.”

*

He waits in the hospital until they let him in to see her

Sits by her bedside and cries

It’s a miracle she’s alive

Somehow, she survived.

*

She opens her eyes to find she’s alive

He’s right there waiting for her

Crying,

She asks him why.

He takes her hand and tells her

“I thought you were going to die.”
She realizes then he actually meant what he said.

*

He seems to have  shown her the proof she needed to see

For her to finally understand his feelings

He kisses her hand,

it doesn’t matter that she’s scarred,

He’d take her any way she came.

*

She’s tired, and wants to sleep

But first she has to hear it one more time

Just to make sure it isn’t in her mind

“Say it again?” she asks

Listening as he laughs

And kisses her hand again

“I’ll love you endlessly.”
