Love Unwanted

You came from nowhere;
Knocking me from my feet.
Disturbing my thoughts,
Leaving me in a broken pile.

Thinking it only a meeting of chance;
Blindly ignoring your flirtations, 
I hoped you were gone. 

But you returned;
Making me your puppet,
Lips bloodied and tongue ravaged
from your kiss of vengeance.

I've tried to leave
Many,many times.
But still you linger.


And I lose my mind 
in small pieces,
Hoping only to forget my life
before you loved me.

Darlene, I developed Epilepsy 10 years ago. In this poem I tried to put into words what my first seizure was like and life since. Thanks:)
