To : Love

By MistressofMayhem

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Steady and slow, love, You need to be understood. In this crazy, mixed up world we can't all be placed into the hands of another. Hold my hand, love. Touch my heart with those soft words, Intently reading what I am and memorizing what you need to know. Kiss my lips, love. The softness and warmth envelop my soul; The steady beat of my heart grows rapid. Love, you mean the world to me. I guess what I've been trying to say all along is... I miss you. I guess what I've needed is to hear that you'll never leave me alone, Weak...waiting to be destroyed. I guess what I've needed to see are those strong hands vowing never to leave my own. Why do we struggle so, love? I know how you feel.... I know what you think... Friends or lovers... Does a title make a difference in the way we feel? Sometimes worlds just can't explain how we feel, love, But put us together and our chemistry will show the world. You've always helped me to fly, love. When I couldn't you gave me your wings. When I am too weak to go on, you are my strength. Never leave, love. You are the fire in my heart that keeps me going. Without you I would have no reason to live. You give me something to sleep to at night, love. I wake up so scared that you'll leave, but you always return to me. Open your eyes, love. How can you be so blind as to let go for even a second? Never feel unwanted, love. I need you every second of every day. Please come back to me someday soon, love. When you left you took a piece of my heart. When you return I will be complete, and I will make you complete, love. I can make you happy.  I promise, love...I promise. Let's take it slow, love...slow and steady...like love should be.I found it interesting that you can't decifer whether "love" is a person or the emotion until the very end.  Enjoy!
