Loyalty Bleeding

each kiss is a tear
every touch a blood drop
breeding pain and fear
from bottom to top
    our brutal love
    rages on and on
    beneath heaven above
    above sweetness come and gone
darkest night falls down
hitting with a resounding thud
in your arms I drown
in an abyss of evil crud
    your abundance of addictions
    and multitudes of lies
    all of love's afflictions
    can be seen in my eyes
but no matter how absurd
I have made the vows
that must be honored
the forevers and the nows

This one touched my heart with its sadness, pain and frustration. But it is also beautifully written and there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Really nicely done Christy

It's hard to comment on this one, though the poetry is great, it is very sad too! I am glad things are much better now.
