The Downside To Love

You drive me crazy,
I can't control myself,
You make me so mad,
I can't think straight,
You give me whiplash,
I hate you so much for that.

But I can't hate you.

You are my saviour, 
I owe you everything,
You make me so happy,
I never want it to end,
You help me live,
I never want to be without you.

But I'll never be with you.

You break me every time you leave,
I hate that time of day,
You burn me every time we fight,
I wish those moments would never come,
You are my angel and my demon,
I love you.

But you will never love me.

Love can take you to the highest mountain, or throw you in the deepest pit,but the deepest pit will always open a new door to even better oppertunities that are worthy of you, if you let it! Thank you so much for your kind comment, love Simone
