The Depths of Love

To whom my heart is given

My soul could not go on,

I would drown inside the bottle,

Lose myself to the world,

and its mouth my life would be swallowed,

My body would be so hallow,

No life inside this heart,

I would become full of anger,

My whole world would be dark,

And you think I would be right,

You think you'd give me life,

And I say time and again,

I would be blacker than midnight,

And I wouldn't cry and I wouldn't laugh,

Seconds I would want to have back,

Entangled in happiness,

I wouldn't search for no more to fill your place

That remains a fact.

And my mind wouldn't be the same

It'll constantly be replaying,

The visions I had for us,

The visions that never came.

And I bleed eternal pain,

And it seeps from out my pours,

I would snort so much cocaine

Until I laid motionless on the floor.

For your love is what I need,

It keeps me from the darkest dreams,

of demons who want my soul,

The darkest dreams you never seen.

So lose me,

and I'll be through,

I'll lose my urgency to speak the truth.

I would revel in all my tears.

And would not live for more than a year.

Deep, DEEP, write my friend...snap, snap, snap...hmm many nights for me, as well, with empty bottles...it's demons we try to drown, yet they keep afloat lol...it's emotions I felt and I'm sure a lot of people have experienced or currently experiencing...I enjoyed the truism of write...it came from the depths of your soul...wonderfully written...bravo.

Thanks dude, it actually was written in the heat of an argument, a lot of the poems here besides the ones I write on spirituality come from conversations and real expressions of passion for whomever they are written for. Really happy you can feel it dude, thanks for the review buddy! How have you been dude? I lost interest in visiting the site as frequently as I used to. Moved into more dancing again. I think you would actually appreciate that even more than the poetry lol. Thats my numero uno passion!
