This Side of Love

May you never be on the wanting side of love The needing side The reaching side The “You are my life” side of love. May you never be on the thirsty side of the love The withered side The shriveled side The “I can’t breathe without you” side of love May you never be on the tormented side of love The consuming side The deranging side The “I’ll be whoever you want” side of love. May you never be on the unfulfilled side of love The desiring side The coveting side The “Why don’t you want me?” side of love May you never be on the bleeding side of love The crushed side The scarred side The “I’m not good enough for you” side of love Ah, my love, my life, my day, my night….. My sun, my world, my stars, my light…. May you never be on this side of love The broken side The wasted side The side of love You’ve left me on

Wow.....instant fav right here! My goodness, I love this one! I'm so happy I've decided to read your older poetry you posted. This is just amazing in every way. It shows that you have so much experience on the affairs and pains of love that certain situations can bring; but it also shows that you wish it on no one. The last stanza is powerful and heartrending... Stunning pieces! Always, Laura

What a great expression of this side of love. You wouldn't wish This on anyone, yet you capture. The care and the depth of the emotion for the other person. I really love this poem. D.
