Why do I love her

It’s back again
Stronger than ever
Can feel it eating away at me
As it gives me a feeling

Is it true?
Did I misinterpret?
Misguided feelings
It all feels the same

I feel alone
But I’m not cold
It suffocates as it watches 
Waiting to see me break

I think I’ll give in
This has no logic
But is understood perfectly
From a perspective

I’m blinded by it
Losing my way as I spiral
I wish I could meet, the source of this pain
But alas I can’t

I’m stuck
Feel like I’m in mud
The feeling gives both pleasure and pain
I don’t mind the first, despise the other

Tried to break free
Tried to forget
Tried to lose myself
But it kept getting real

Vivid imaginations constantly
Of a union that may never happen
I turn and hold my chest
At the thought that I can’t make it real

Constant meet ups with no actual linkups 
Always on my mind
Every waking breath
Makes God jealous

Feels like sin
I can’t deny that
But it feels like purpose
A peek in a future

But this future is on a cliff
Waiting to be saved or pushed
Forever held dear or forgotten
Accepted or denied

Why do I choose this?
Why do I suffer?
Why do I endure?
Why do I Love her?
