This Isn't Easy

Loving you is exhausting,

Exquisite, unfathomable and haunting.

This unreasonable emotion lingers forever

But please remember, I don’t mind whatsoever.

 

Your love touches every crevice of my soul,

Crevices that no one has ever touched before.

 

I close my eyes and here you are,

Holding me, even from afar.

 

I have known from the very beginning

That I would never want to see this ending.

Forever, is my promise to you.

It doesn’t matter what I have to do.

 

Loving you isn’t easy,

I am insecure but giving myself completely.

You, are the journey I am taking,

The sacrifice, I am willingly making.

 

Now, something I must learn to do,

Is to control myself while loving you.

Very beautiful, hauntingly so. Loving someone is always difficult, no matter how strong the emotion may be. There will always be trials and tribulations to shadow you every step of the way. You have to push through it and escape the whispers and snickers, the yells and screams and get to the top of your own mind to get away from it all.

I give you full ratings because this was amazing and I loved it! I will probably browse some more of your writing in my free time since you seem to have some real talent c:

Loving you is exhausting,
Lasting love always is.

If it was easy it wouldn't be worth s**t.
I love the ending how it fuels the deepness- "Is to control myself while loving you."

This poem expresses a love that sounds pretty bittersweet. If someone started out their love poem to me, saying I'm exhausting, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hear the rest of your more gentle words. I do agree that many times people ARE exhausting. And I love writing that's brutally honest. But this first line almost condemns the rest of your message . . . the love itself is secondary to the toughness of being in this love. Again, very honest & I love that it is. It's just not something I would give to the beloved person that inspired this message! All in all, it's very powerful & poignant.

Thank you for your comments. However, I disagree. Loving someone completely is exhausting. Every part of you is consumed by that person and there is nothing left of you. I think the last line speaks to that by saying "control myself while loving you." to find a medium ground between yourself and your emotions for that person.
