Love poem - I do like certain love poems. Hope this is one you may enjoy. |
I’d been living with a hole deep in my heart A shadow overhead that blackened every day I’d forgotten how to breathe Forgotten how to live Forgotten how to love I built so many walls to guard my broken remains I was impossible to break down: Impenetrable and strong. Or so I thought My ‘front’ was humorous, likeable Everyone bought it, ate it up and believed it was truly me: The strong girl. Really it was a strong pretence fronting a fragile soul I was secretly empty, sad and lonely But you changed that, you changed me. You were what I was seeking: Hope and love. At first I was so reluctant Terrified to throw myself to the lions so to speak But you eased me in, promising to break my walls and care for my weakened heart I fell for you so quickly The beauty and strength of your heart captivating me like a Boa Constrictor to its prey: So powerfully I couldn’t free myself from you I wouldn’t want to My love grew stronger and stronger My stomach feels sick and empty when we’re apart My head feels light and dizzy when we’re together. You just complete me You fill my entire being with fear It runs through my veins, An icy liquid awakening me from the dead coma I was in before I met you. You brought me back to life The goodness in you stuns me The love in you awe’s me Even your minor bad points fill me with a warm glow And a feeling unlike any other You touch me somewhere and I feel it everywhere You smile at me and my body goes into shock The smile that’s only for me The smile that freed me from the lonely wreck I had been living. I’ve been in love before, been through Cupid’s motions But this is different This is strong, undiluted mature love It’s only you I want, no-one else. No cheating We’re adults and this is adult love. I’m bound by you, bound to you You are my everything You’re the melody in my heart and the sanity in my head Your eyes set me on fire, burning a hole straight through me You see me, you really see me You noticed my pretence but knew I was in here somewhere My words aren’t enough You’re too important to me You’re the life that I live You’re every organ I have and every drop of blood I possess You keep me breathing. You rescued me; my big brown eyed heroine I was sleeping through life I was Snow White, sleeping through her pain, awoken by your kiss June 23rd 2009 No seven dwarfs No glass coffin Just you Just your lips Just your love You saved me. |
