Dear Beloved



Dear beloved,
I'm sorry things stay left unsaid.
Dear beloved,
I'm sorry that you must tread,

My mood is viciously staggered,
But, my love for you will never swagger.
Rest assured you're stuck with me forever
Until the end of time; I will never,

Forget where we've been and how far we've come.
Our successes, misfortunes, and our current sum,
We've faced so much that negativity was assured.
Love was obscure, but through it all we've endured.

Love was foreign to me as a distant planet,
You not only broke through to me, but continually withstand it.
I've nothing to give back but these simple words.
Your love is everything! How could I have procured?

An inexplicably beautiful and talented person?
Generosity and kindness throughout while I only worsen.
All I can do is try which is nearly impossible.
Then I think of your love and anything is plausible.

Dear beloved,
I love you more than these words can describe.
Dear beloved,
Please don't give up on me and I will subscribe.

To any love you bestow on me.
I will return it despite being afflicted with insanity.
Dear Beloved, I love you. You're the key.
Dear Beloved, I hope these simple words defined... happy.

Jacob "Sufferance" Bowen

I'm a 30-year old who suffers from Schizophrenia. Suffers, being the keyword. I am a tortured soul. I'm plagued with substance dependence and mental illness, which is also known as a dual diagnosis.Poetry was soothing when I was beginning to hit rock bottom. I felt as if I was at the end of my rope. Then, the first poem I posted here, "Auburn Diminishes", ranked first in the daily contest! This lifted my spirits and gave me a new lease on life. Since then, I've written more and will continue to write, study and hone my artistic abilities by including poetry in every aspect of my life.My hobbies include spending time with the girlfriend, video games, and last but not least, music! My favorite genre is punk rock but can appreciate most music (not all songs) and every genre. My girlfriend said I probably obtained my natural ear from hip-hop. I didn't know what a meter was before attempting my first Shakespearean sonnet and still somehow won a contest with "Auburn Diminishes". more…
