Intangible

Fortune has stolen you from me.

You were my dream,

But I was never in yours.

My days have been numbered since the day I was born.

I wish I could have spent every second with you,

since my life began to burn.

But time is a thief I could not fight.

So I’ll watch you from afar,

Continue to be a counterfeit of what I want to be.

I with no rights on the matter,

I’m as rich as I need to be.

It will be the poison that dims my light,

But I suppose I drink it because I want.

I'm not sure about me being a poet exactly, but i'm glad thank you. As far as pictures go i don't have very many so your welcome to add one you think would fit it.

wow, alejandro! this is powerful stuff! i didn't know you were a poet, but you obviously are. i like this line "i with no rights on the matter". that grabbed me. it's very poetic, musical almost. but i also like the line "i could have spent every second with you" for the reason that it's so straightforward, so real. good stuff....! i'm looking forward to more. thanks for sharing this!!
