Life of Love

I wrote this a while back...probably in middle school...

Life of Love

 

I hear you…

I hear you when you say you love me...

But do you listen to me when I say I need you and want you.

 

Can you see that sparkle in my eyes when I see you?

Can u hear my heart beating against my chest?

Do you see it fighting with my body wanting to jump out to u and feel u caressing it?

 

Needing you to pump life into it.

 It needs that electric surge from your fingers to give it a jump start.

It needs you take it and hold it tight and never let go.

No matter how much the universe may move and shake never drop it.

 

Do you hear what I am saying to you?

I want u to understand what I am asking...

I want you to take your heart from your body and hand it to me.

Place it in my hand and tell me to give it a life of its own.

I’ll take you on a journey that's better than any tip around the world.

I’ll show you the wonders of the world.

I’ll hold it in my hand no matter what course I may take.

It will go anywhere with me.

 

 Let my fingers do more then hold it let them be source of its power.

You won't need your body; your chest can't hold it back.

Don't worry about it being protected I’ll be the force that protects it.

I’ll form that barrier that blocks out anything that tries to hurt it.

 

Let me provide that everlasting love and the only way it will die is if it is taken from my chest.

Let it become a part of me and we become one and we'll share the same air, time, and space.

 

...Or would u rather not hear me and take my heart anyway?

No longer will you caress it but squeeze it till it can breathe any more.

There is no life being pumped into it.

Instead you suck out my life.

The color no longer a beating red but a dying black.

 

 Don't keep it safe and let the layers of the universe flatten it into something that is unrecognizable or something so disgusting that the mere sight of it makes u want to turn away and run.

 

 How about chopping it into a million pieces for me to put together again? And when I think all is right u smash it into a billion more pieces.

Giving me an eternal puzzle to figure out.

 

But what if I did that to you?

What if I didn't give you an everlasting love? But a love that comes and goes with the seasons.

 

When its winter it’s as cold as the ice that covers the ground.

It looks safe and secure, it looks real but taking that chance causes you to fall into a shallow lake and drown.

Then spring comes and everything seems to bloom and grow but other times the seeds wither away and die or they never spring up from the soil…

Or the plants grow and you expect them to be beautiful and full of life instead they are gross and dead.

Then summer comes and brings the heat of passion but it can burn you like no other leaving a visible scare for the world to see.

Slowly the burning stops and fall appears it’s no longer burning but fall apart or trying to hang on by a stem but it’s still pulled down and left to stay in the spot where it feel.

It can't get back up and start all over again there’s no support for it so it lays and waits for the cycle to begin again…

 

Is that the type of love you want? You want it to be deceitful, its passion an illusion for what it really what's.

You want a trickster for love and a liar.

 

Do u hear me can understand that I can be that way too?

Tell you what you want to hear and what is not real.

Say one thing and do something hurtful and lie and say sorry...

But I can't do that I never could....but what could you do with love?

Those questions we all have when stepping into the unknown of love. How will our heart be treated? Will we loved with the same unconditional love that our hearts give? Does this person love as deeply and fiercely as we do? Will they lie to us. We take this chance when we give our hearts and sometimes we win. A wonderful write Layla
