Poem
Achingly, I watch as you frequently fall For the idyllic notion of unconditional love The dream, the desire, the fantasy Drawn, inexplicably, to the potent flame Of one who ignites the spark You learn from her, confide in her Losing yourself As she reheats each chamber of your tepid heart. You feel safe in her presence Becoming stronger, happier, Each time you put a smile on her face And oh, how her eyes light up… You do that That’s your power The power to bring her joy You feel invincible Yet you can’t help thinking “She will leave eventually. They always do.” Still Your body aches to touch her Just one inch of her delicate skin. And as your fingers caress hers Your heart falls Fast But it’s not enough. You want your soul to dance seductively with hers You want to live an unprecedented moment of bliss- Savouring precious minutes as they come She makes you want to share your thoughts Your dreams, your memories Making you laugh Hard Until those destructive demons surface And you view it as a power that she holds over you. So, you distance yourself. You can’t give her that control You’re conflicted Tormented Back and forth Negative interpretations Fighting with the peace and tranquillity She brings to your day. Your life with her now a constant battle Between the heart and the mind. And in all the inner turmoil You lose sight Of the moment you so desperately want to live in That moment of love, That feeling of love. And in your damaging distance Propelling pain Setting fire to the flag of love she waves for you You unknowingly annihilate her world Over and over again A vicious cycle of relentless conflict No ceasefire in sight And when you’ve finally pushed her enough She retreats, back to the trenches, Vowing to never let you hurt her again. And finally, it sinks in… She’s gone. As good as dead! Now a black hole exists Where once a rainbow coloured your sky And you tell yourself how right you were To expel her from your heart You knew she would walk away You were right She obviously wasn’t the one for you Because if she was She'd have put up with anything- Accepted who you really are Unconditionally Now stranded in the sands of solitude, You muster the strength to yearn again For one who will answer your call The woman of your dreams So, you meet someone Again Who makes you laugh Reawakens desires And you wonder… “Could she be the one?” And Oh... How you love to make her smile
