Why Can'T You Just Love Me

"Why can't you Love just me” Treated like a possession Placed far upon a shelf Time stands still when you’re high, dark, deep And out of reach Fueled by white lies You challenge me Dangerous false securities Scatter on concrete My silence demanded Bound and broken before I speak Tricked into watching other worldly goods make you feel complete Your magnetic energy draws on me My needs forsaken and courage falls beneath Within your perfect circle I have a seat A fake display of warm affection presented neat Still sharp, jagged edges cut me deep Made to feel less, mild, and meek A down turn indeed Justifiable crucification of my emotions and mind Swallow and consuming thee Our journey together will never complete Goodbye my love, for I cannot honor we I hope your conscious burns slow and deep Every time you reach for me-

Human illusion draws on the energy love of others Shannon because it has non of its own. We must all learn to draw love from the wells of our own sacred hearts, for life is love in action. Mind control freaks are like this for they know not how to draw love from their own wells(sacred heart). Congratulations on your worthy poem drawing a worthy 2nt place. Smile. Agape, MOses
