Kill My Dragons

I shouldn't worry
I expected nothing of you
I shouldn't be disappointed
You were it
You just were it

I shouldn't trouble myself
Somehow I knew you
I shouldn't be confused now
That's it
That just was it

I shouldn't be afraid
I haven't lost you yet
I shouldn't be lost now
But I am
I simply am

Without the hope I made for myself
Without you to kill my dragons
The way I saw you do
When you thought I didn't see
That flare of hope is gone for me

I should have no regrets
My words weighed easily
But heavily to me
You're silent now
So am I

I should follow no signs
That will mislead me
I'll find another meaningless one
As you have already done
And I'll run

Without the hope I made for myself
Without you to kill my dragons
The way I saw you do
When you thought I didn't see
That flare of hope is gone for me

I'll run

    "I shouldn't worry
    I expected nothing of you
    I shouldn't be disappointed
    You were it
    You just were it"

    means so much to me at the point, but separated from the idea I see in these poem. but some lines.. so deeply from my day.

    I'm sure you hear this all the time but this is GOLD, pure gold. (I can only imagine how it sounds like as a song... Great, I suppose xD ) The repetitions are amazing (especially the first "you were it / you just were it") and the dragon stanza is truly well written and full of imagination. Yay ^^
