Love Hurts

Love hurts when I know I can't have you yet I love you. I love everything about you. Your eyes so mesmerizing with one look into them I am instantly lost in a universe of majestic beauty. Your eyes so intoxicating with what seems to be the clearest and most refreshing pool of water on the face of this earth. Your smile so angelic I become speechless in awe of how perfect it is. Your laugh so uplifting my heart jumps for joy every time I hear it. Your beauty that compares to no other upon this earth is so profound that I am found speechless and filled with butterflies with one simple gaze upon your face. But I am torn to pieces knowing that you may never be mine. Lying awake not being able to rest because all I can think about is you.... Because you have stolen my heart and locked it away never to be seen again. I feel as if I contain my feelings any longer I will burst into oblivion into a void of nothingness but even then where everything is darkness. You will be the only thing keeping me from letting go. Because you are so bright, cheerful, lovely, compassionate, and so perfect it is impossible for to let go. You drive me insane, I'm crazy about you and you have no idea how I truly feel. For you are Aphrodite and I am but a mere mortal in complete shock and awe of you celestial beauty. But love hurts because we all know Aphrodite was never meant for a mere mortal.

She Crossed the Road

I fell in love that one day when "she" crossed the road.
she had such a beautiful smile.
she had some books so I asked to take her load.
she said yes and we talked for a while.

we dated on and off for a few years.
then she said we need to take a break.
on that day I fought back tears.
every  night I lie in bed awake.

I thought about her every day.
one morning we met, the break was finally over.
she finally was my fiancé. 
the day came when we were at the altar, shoulder to shoulder.

my mind went back to the day she crossed the street.
from that day forth my life was complete.
