The Chasing Amy poem

(For my princess whose love I shall forever chase)
 
I long to see who you really are
 
I have always cinched myself in the confines of your past
Wallowing in the puddle of memories long forgotten
I built myself a wall what denied any specter of the future,
And the present as well
Only the murky past that continues to envelope my being
Eating what's left of the devotion we sowed with seeds of love.
 
I know the time shall come
When I have to rise from this abysmal pit of mud
(Before I drown in it completely)
To face the ghost that I myself had created,
Conquer it finally
And like the Berlin, my wall shall come down in shambles
Revealing a path to a promising tomorrow to be spent with you.
 
It is then that I can see your entirety.
I only wish you'd still be there.
 
The very first poem my fiance has ever written for me. We were still dating then. After 3 days, I said yes!! :)
