Love so Sweet

Eleven years & a few months have passed since first our eyes met.

As we started our journey, our dance of a thousand veils.

Nothing could stand in the way of Love so sweet.

Bursting with such emotion, so in love

Never trusting my heart to anyone as much as I have you.

Your Love leaving a brand on my soul.

Nothing could stand in the way of Love so sweet.

I grew up to it all in a whirl wind of days, months, years passing me by.

Learning Love is so different then being in Love.

We sail in an Ocean of our own making, sinking into an abyss.

Wait, I thought nothing could stand in the way of Love so sweet.

Grasping at anything to hold on to what we had.

Not willing to give up what we are together.

Not willing to stay and deal with lost dreams.

Your vices stand in the way of a Love so sweet.

How do I deal with the burning of my heart.

Do I stay & continue to watch you self destruct.

Or do I set out, & leave your coins falling from slots that never pay out.

I hear the empty echo of Love that was once so sweet.

I see shattered remains of promises never kept.

How I want to stay & make it all new once more.

How I ache seeing the sadness in those precious blue eyes.

It is up to you & not me to heal a Love so sweet.

But I can't hold my breathe anymore, see I'm turning as blue as those eyes.

...sigh...I relate in so many ways. My husband and I have been married for the same amount of time and I ask myself similar questions on a regular basis...

Good write, wonderful expression.
