I didn't preview the poem before I posted it last time and it lumped all the words into a big paragraph, with no formatting. So here is the revised version.
I have never written a poem before, so I don't know if you would even consider this a poem, or even if it's any good or complete junk. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I wrote it in the middle of the night.
Worth
Walking through this world alone
Though always surrounded by people
Life has become a lonely road
A path that seems to run the same course
Time flies by, though you stand still
Watching memories fade
You can’t erase those etched in stone
The scars still run deep
The wounds do not heal
You still remain
Dancing to the beat of life
Smiles from ear to ear
Keeping the world from your inner torment
You reach to hold her near
The world seems a little brighter in that moment
Though feelings are bittersweet
There is good and bad in this embrace
He and she are ever connected
Hatred and love
You still remain
Your world is crashing
You’re spinning through your thoughts
History repeats itself and the wounds begin to fester
You hold the strength left inside your soul
You stand your guard
This time you will not falter
You still remain
But this time is different
This time is harder
There is more at stake this time around
He plays the game well, for he knows you in entirety
You begin to falter
Your grasp is slipping
Strength is weakening
Control is fading
You falter
You are alone
You do not remain
I see you in your moment of weakness
You do not see me
I am there for you
The strength you cannot find
If only you could see through my eyes
You falter so simply
You are worth so much more than that
You are not alone, for I am here for you
With me, you can remain
