They meant everything to me


Say farewell to my relatives 

They shaped my being 

Sheltered my innocence, 

Then shattered my youth

And burned my garden of eden 

They were my everything 

 

Sayonara to my mates

Offer them every earthly pleasures 

Born from them was hubris 

Shrouded by their purity,

Plots of wicked design broke through 

They were my everything

 

Say goodbye to my old love

Treat her to the world 

She was once my moon and stars

The beating in my chest, 

The cracks in my heart 

She was my everything

 

So long to my soul

Perhaps it will see better days

Maybe it will feel the warmth of affection,

Alas lifeless it lies motionless

Merely ashes of a fire now snuffed 

 It felt my everything 

 

Give praise to my new life 

She breathes onto me a new hope 

And instills new meaning within me 

Give thanks to my new family

The ones who share my blood

And the ones who bled with me 

They mean everything to me

<p>Hello readers! My name is Ethan Solis and I am a first year college student and I just recently picked up poetry as a form of self expression. I let a few of my mates read it and they were &quot;blown away&quot; by it, now I have no clue whether they actually mean it but I&#39;ll let you all be the judge of that, please feel free to reach out and let me know if it is worth the praise. Thank you all!</p>
