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
