Poems...

I forgot who I was in the

chaos and the kisses, the open

ended declarations of love

and in the late nights of passion.

I left myself on your doorstep that first night

when we joined as individuals to create a 

whole. I was your sub piece, the one you

looked to when you needed someone,

but I was never able to look to you in return.

Somewhere along our journey I lost the things that made me who I once was,

and when I turned around to pick up the pieces

you started to notice.

As I began to rise from the darkness you cast over me,

you started to dim in color.

I realized that you had to be the sun in order to live,

and without a shadow, you felt you could not shine.

– Sydney Lynn, you be the sun and i’ll be the shadow
