Poisoned Love

This is how I feel about love pretty often

Your love is like poison to me,

A poison I've never had,

A poison I'll probably never have,

because I know as soon as I feel our lips touch,

As soon as I taste your kiss,My heart may stop beating,

All together.

 

I have this problem,

You're totally irresistible.

What am I to do now?

When I'm dealing with the love that can cause my death?

 

Our relationship is so complicated & painful,

because I can't let myself fall.

Yet I think I am falling even though I've been fighting it none stop since the day your eyes met mine.

What does this mean?

 

I wasn't made strong enough to fight my feelings.

I'm loosing pieces of my heart,

Because slowly but surely,

I'm falling apart.

 

I wonder if before now,

You knew I felt this way.

Could you tell by the way I pushed you away even though I flirted with you?

 

Do you love me?

Do you want to try to make things work even though your touch may stop my heart?

 

So it's been two days since I admitted my love for you.

One day since I gave in to your touch.

My heart beats a little slower now.

I'm scared.

 

With this buzzing in my head

& this poison in my heart,

I try to go to bed,

But I'm scared I may fall apart.

 

Here I go,

Nodding off to sleep so slowly.

 

Here I am

Awake in your arms,

I can't believe I survived your poison.

 

Now you're my addiction,

I love you.

To open your heart can be scary indeed. Giving in to those feelings in hopes that your fragile heart will not be broken yet without risk we live a lonely existance. what to do...what to do....but love.

I think this little piece should be in every romantic novel. We all dont know the true person who we see. Yes, we love them deeply, but they may have an unfaithfulness side to them that we dont know about. It's so hard to trust anybody these days because of this. That's why i say people should take things extremely slow b4 moving on to the next major step. All of us dont want our hearts to get broken; and to get our hopes up is the last thing on our minds. Love is time, love must be taken slow, love must be a tight bond, love must be heartfelt, genuine and beautiful, but most importantly, love must be REAL. Wonderful job with your poetic words. Very creative from the heart. Great job!!

Absolutely perfect piece showing the often frantic nature of love and desire! You capture so well both the feelings of darkness and light that surround us when we are in love... Incredible!!!

You reallly showed the journey of conquering something internal, which is so hard. Good job. I can't get enough of your work, dude!

Welp.... I'm not sure about this one, but I like it alot.... I like the title and how you use it repeatedly throughout the piece........ Reese's and milk.... I know you hate milk.... BWAHAHAHA!!

Becoming addicted to the poison of love. Wonderful turn of phrase.

I'm curious, is all love poisonous, or only this one, this forbidden one?

Love can feel like a poison/addiction at times. But when you love the right person it feels... different, I guess. Never really felt the poison part with Courtney, but I definitely am addicted to her. And I refuse to go to rehab! Hopefully that poison sensation of love goes away over time. Good poem.
