I may not say much…
Yet my heart aches when you are not near
your love engraved in mine, my mistakes in yours.
Though I wish it to be undone, my fangs have borne
markings too deep for you to heal.
I wish I could be better for you…
For us…
I may not say much…
but I know you feel it too—my heart strings wrapped around you
From every glance we share, to the way I look for you in every room
It is insufferable.
I may not say much…
but it is maddening, this is maddening..
Yet I know you feel it too..
The way my mind withered away within your absence.
A love so strong, I cease to exist.
A helplessness so damning, I’ve fallen barren.
Though I see you, I am left unseen
I may not say much, but my heart is left unclean
And no don’t remind me, though I know it’s true
I’m stuck in the time of me and You.
Love Has Arrived!
What is love?
How dare you ask me!
Another rendezvous of this foolishness?
That of another unkept. Even so, I have wept within this notion.
Irritating? Aggravating? To feel is too much!
To understand is too little.
Look down or look up?
Obviously, you will not find me. I knock on your door as I please.
Vicious against me I see? Relax your mind, put it at ease.
Even then, no trauma can undermine me..
Traumatic… darling, chaos is not your epiphany.
Overall! You need you, not me and definitely not SO-SIGH-YO-TEA
You’ll look for me and find me everywhere!
Over there? No over there!
Universal I can be, only you shape me..
So tell me what am I? A claw? A bee? or a state of purity?
Only YOU shape me.
?
Sincerely, Love ❤
Author’s Note:
My work is predominantly about love and what it can mean to me, and to others. It was mostly inspired by a school prompt, but also by my own internal struggles, which helped me convey my emotions onto paper. I hope the readers will take away the understanding of how love can impact them differently through each poem and somehow find how their stories align with the poems written.
