Love Sick

 

Love Sick
By Markeecha Forcell

 

 

As I lie in the shadows I struggle to breathe

From the cold raining nights to the warm summer breeze

My emotions ranting on an endless trip

I’m trying to survive but my body shows contempt

 

As I close my eyes your face pops in my head

Mad cause of how you left me in this field for dead

Hurt cause I gave you my heart on a silver platter

Sad cause you dropped it while standing on a tall fireman’s latter

 

Will someone come rescue me from this grave end?

As I lay in my grave wish this journey never began

For you were like Poison that I drank from desperation in extreme  thirst

Never really thougth the aftermath would be death , pain, & hurt.

 

As I close my eyes and except my faith

I sit here and wonder what all I did wrong

Maybe I deserved such a terrible fate

Maybe this was destine to happen all along

 

I think about the last time your lips touch mines

As I close my eyes for the last time

Were there warning signs that I could have followed

Or maybe I should of known your heart was hollow

 

At the end of the day as I took my last breath

I wish you were cause you used to protect

Help and provide now I see

That I was love Sick and you and I weren’t meant to be.

"I'm trying to survive, but my body show's contempt" - think this is my favorite line ... such a revealing, rawness to the emotion you expressed in your writing. The one who was to protect turned out to be the poison .. good capture of love's deception in this excellent write. Well done. :)
