Love Poem: Love

Love

You are the only thing I can not see through me
A treasure at a depth
Pressure leads me into secrecy
Fear makes me look with eyes unkept

You sing me all of your hated lies
But I smile as I stare
My tears can only make me real
I watch as you’re unaware

I am alive right now
My maker and my love
You could never possibly take me down
Your attempts can never shove
Everything I feel with you
Everything I’ve learnt
Never tell me why you hate this life
I have already figured it out myself

You may think I do this for my own
You can think that I’m not real
But if I held you nothing else is here
If I held you, we would feel

We are alive right now
My maker and my love
If I could ever possibly take you down
I would cry for you my blood
Everything I feel with you
Everything I’ve learnt
Experience will help me breathe
But more than this I want your arms
Never let go of me
Symbiotic trust
I want to see the things that you can see
Feel your pain and lust

Death is evading me
It’s you or a path unclear
My heart can only help me see
It tells me what you fear

Be with me innocence
Be here in my heart
I am being swallowed by selfishness
But I know that with your art
It never existed here
It never ever tried
Nothing ever gave me fear
Nothing ever lied
Your eyes will only show me how
Your mind can only share
Things that I have to shout
Things that make me stare
Just hold me close within your arms
I know our search will be complete
Let’s take away our selfish harm
Make our deaths so obsolete
