Love Is

[laceblade]

I'm not sure if I'm going to post this at Writing Critic or not...It's not that great. But it does bring out my cynical side quite nicely, doesn't it?

I love when your arm's around me like this.
I bury my face in your shoulder and you kiss my hair
I feel so safe here, and my heart is so full...
I can't even think, you make me so giddy.

I'm lying on the ground, and I don't think I can get up this time.
I can literally feel the blood flowing out of the deep cuts in my heart.
All I want is you, and it's all I can't have.
You made my heart so full that the pain defeats me. I can't take it.

I'm so glad we found each other.
I'm so thankful I have someone to tell everything to.
My life has been heaven since I've had you to trust.
I wish everyone could feel this good.

You smile at me like that'll make it alright, but it only hurts more.
All I can think about is why I'm not good enough.
How I ache beyond comprehension because of my damn feelings.
Damn tears.

Sometimes I get sad because I think about what would happen I lost you...
But I know that will never happen.
We are in love, and that means
you never have to be alone.

Sometimes I make it worse by thinking about what it would be like to be with you.
But I know that will never happen.
Love means absolutely nothing if it isn't requited.
Nothing but pain.

Hi Mystic Keeper. Well, you might want to post this at poetrycritic. I find it very hard to ever say anything about poetry (because I lack the words) but I like this. I hope you are interested in the new community. You are in a good position to take a leadership role there and I hope you will consider it. I'm not talking about anything official, but just getting in there and using the community. We've all tried to encourage you over at writingcritic because we see your potential. Hope to hear from you soon!
