Love is staring into your eyes
After our first kiss.
The emotion in your voice
When you tell me you love me.
Love is letting you hold me,
Feeling the rapid pounding of your heart.
Reminding me that we're both alive,
And never wanting to let you let me go.
Love is a short lived dream;
Unforgettable and haunting.
You don't know it's over
Until after it comes crashing down.
Love is watching you walk away,
Wanting to beg you not to go;
But not being able to breathe,
Collapsing on the ground after you diseappear
Love is killing the dreamer inside,
That says it will be ok.
Giving up hope on life and love,
After you gave up on me.
Love is screaming at someone
To take the pain away.
Commanding them to kill
The monster you've become.
Love is begging you not to go
And the harsh slap of reality
As the illusion fades
And I realize you're gone.
Love is waking up to a cold, lonely, bed;
Sobbing, sweating and screaming
After another dream of you
And every moment we had.
Love is accepting the fact
That I'm going to die someday.
Without you.
Completely and utterly alone.
Love is simply wanting you back,
Not caring how or why,
Just that you return.
Without you.
That part got me. Very nice capture of the harshness of reality, it worked really well because I felt that line hit me.
Though reading and writing depressing stories can cause an emotional dominoe effect.
