Love What Cruelty

I fell in love With a creature so beautiful Exquisite and outta my reach Yet my stupid heart believed Thought love conquered all Foolishness, my downfall Why is love this cruel teasing drawing you in Promising heaven on earth You fall in and hard A heart colonized, invaded Debilitating to the core Like a virus, Spreading, multiplying Filling my every pore The yearning for her, Gosh To touch her to hold her Oh the cruelty of love The emotion was too much An obsession even And the heartache was crushing Bleeding my stupid heart dry Poor stupid heart Love? What cruelty Twas harsh A game played pon my heart That i would feel this much Long, yearn for someone A love so deep. Unrequited Unwanted The realization Sudden, grim An arrow through the heart Piercing, darkness in its wake Sucked my soul right out Desolation, Love's consequence The darkness, welcoming Embraced me with a coldness Numbing my heart Exorcising my soul of all emotion Wiping my slate blank Love, what cruelty
