Just Want To Be With You

Just Want To Be With You

 

When things get to the point where everything comes to a standstill

When your heart burns with a pain so intense you can’t handle

When you suddenly scared

Because for the first time you are aware

Of your heart and how much love for her is actually there.

Laughter

Pain

You’re back in that love bubble again

And now your mind slipping and start going insane

She hurts you more and more

But you are now just addicted to the pain.

The distance between you just fills up with things you wont say

“It took only the first three seconds of being with you to fall in love with you”

You wish you could just tell her that everyday

And you love the thought because you know it’s true

You see-see subliminal images on my wall

You cry because no matter what happens

You know you’ll always be there to catch her when she fall

Because having her hate you

Is better than not having her at all.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very strong poem of the desire and the emotion of love. Love cannot be control or forced. I like the feel of honest thoughts in the poem. The ending was a surprise. Hard to live with hate. No-one can win. No weakness in the excellent poem.
