At first, you were but another leaf
In a forest full of trees
So many leaves to count from
So many, it was too easy to pick from
So beautiful they all were
My world, was but a blur
Leaves were easy to pick from the floor
Until I looked up, and saw a beauty I had never seen before
Hanging from the tallest tree
Only that leaf would satisfy me
Magnificent like a tigress
With an exterior
So superior
An attractiveness that summons you out of a coma
With a power that brings you to your knees
Or chooses to save you from the gallows
And can even set you free
That is my Erin
The leaf with which I have found
I am tied to and bound
But a curse it is not
But a blessing it is
The leaf I have found
Picked from the tallest tree and turned around
To see there is more to this leaf than just its exterior
At points, she makes me feel inferior
Another side just as beautiful
So passive but passionate, so calm and forgiving
If death is inevitable, she is my reason for living
Sometimes I stop to think
What if I had never picked that leaf?
Or was it her who picked me?
But now it is clear, I can see…
She wasn’t made for me…
God made me for her
To make her happy always
And protect her from evil…
Forever I’m yours
With love and hate
My body will never deviate
From that leaf named Erin
My heart wants to shout
She has planted a seed of love in me
You can hear it sprout
If you listen closely to my heartbeat…
It’s shouting!
Yet sounds just as loud as a whisper
But the fact that I can hear it
Let’s me know that I’m with her
*I made this poem over 5 years ago for an ex-girlfriend Erin*
