Poem Title:
Poem
Darkness, embedding my soul, pilfering my heart, What power is this power, this power you have over my entire existence, Kisses, empty kisses, poor over my face and lips, How will I ever know my dear if you I do not? My heart cries out, longing to trust the immaculate world upon which you live, This world, your world, I know it not and yet my love cannot subside, Tears flood my eyes, anger captivates my mind and yet I go on loving you, How can I love you so? When know you I do not, One person there, another here with me, Contortions of heart break subside as your eyes I gaze for meaning, I find it, this meaning, this love you speak of having for me, and yet still I do not know you, Help me my love; show me I have nothing to fear, Stop the floodgates of my so-called beautiful eyes that momentarily have been drained of any life, Subside the beat of my vulnerable heart that screams fear for all to hear, Show me that when, “I love you” leaves your mouth, It’s not simply something you’ve said before, But it’s truly from your tender beating heart, straight from the core, I tell you and I mean it, a back bone I do possess, And yet, weak in the knees depicts my ever growing devotion to you, Trust, my love, it does not come easy, Earn it you must, please, instead of burning my mind of thoughts that flourish and cause many a tear to streak my face, You’ve got me, but by God do not take me for granted, My heart, it is delicate and I need you to possess it gently, I shall not and will not, set myself up for more emotional pain, My sanity, you have yet to return, Then possibly, true love we may gain.
