loving you

By Doc Watson

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Loving you is like stepping all over broken glasslike kissing a million thornsflying without wings...falling without seeing the ground...dying without seeing the lightLoving you is like being skewered through the loinslike being prodded with a spearlike eating without teeth...singing without a tonuge...diving without equipment...loving you is like drinking poison from your open handlike standing in an open fireloving you is like thrusting myself upon the knifecommitting suicide over and over againand yet i can't let you go...i just hurt myself more and moreBut i guess that's just what i getfor loving youno matter how much it hurts, you...just...can't...stop Written December 2nd, 2001 © on Dec 02 2001 02:20 PM PST   0 • 8
