The Romantic Illusion

this is about getting what you wanted and realizing it was'nt what you needed

 

                             The Romantic Illusion               

If I would task you to write me a song,
Or quote me a rhyme, it would be torture,
Because you are a man with no flowery words,
No bouquets in hand,
No fumbling words.

 

A man who is'nt going to climb to the rooftop ,
And scream to the moon about how much he loves me,
With no romantic gestures to speak of,
A man who knows not what to do with a crying woman,
A man whose sarcasm  is like a rapier.

 

You are also the man whose calloused hands,
Knit my soul back together,
With the gentlest of strokes,
When you found me broken and torn asunder by the hands of another,
Another who knew how to string together pretty words

Another who whispered words of love unashamedly,
While secretly caressing the knife behind his back,
Waiting to tear me to ribbons,
While I was busy holding his hand ,
In awe of his lyric,

 

And you with your big rough hands,
Who would walk through fire for me,
And claim no bounty,
Are the reality over the imagined,
So I would choose you  in every lifetime.

I MUCH Hate when someone as stunning as you feel 'Torture' ....
I liked the flow .. am getting see that in yer stuffs the pain and emotions're floating onto the words that disperse the colors of love into the heart of every reader ... Nice work ..

Well .. Don't worry, why are you giving him a task to write one song for you even though i've got from the write that he doesn't even care of you .. and I hate when someone dones't care of someone as lovely as you are ..
anyway ... why didn't ya tell me to write a song for you .. !
Ahh .. Don't be shy .. it's ok .. before leaving the site i don't want to break an angels heart ..
