If You Want Me

Love is another four-lettered word,

That is just as hard to digest as the others.

Floating always, eternal in front of my eyes.

The sigh that echoes from our souls.

It's always comforting to hear on this road.

 

If you want me, come to me.

If you want me, leave your world behind.

If you want me, travel the road alone.

If you want me, make me your home.

 

These pages weren't always empty.

They once held words that meant something.

But without you they're meaningless.

Without you I am too.

 

If you want me, let chaos ensue.

If you want me, remember I'm not always true.

If you want me, burn your restrictions.

If you want me, leave behind these artificial misgivings.

 

Rampant, my thoughts are on such nervous nights.

This could possibly be my great demise.

What I find in you, I can't deny.

If you want me, no longer can I hide.

ok...why did that picture just send shivers up my spine???? I'm still trying to shake 'em off!! Ach well...let me go read the piece now!! Damn...shivers came right back for the last stanza. This radiates for sure.
I am in love with this piece. The dreamy quality at the start suckered me right in to a lovely place. It reminded me of what my sister defines as a sigh: an unspoken wish. To think of a soul with an unspoken wish just took me to a different realm. The four letter word bit I've written about myself, but not so eloquently. "Floating always...." to the end of that stanza really unleashes quite the emotion in me.
The second stanza blows me away. It's so great to read...each line leading into the next...and the unexpected turn of the last line is priceless. "make me your home"....it's so beautiful and (forgive me) poetic.
The third stanza completely rips my heart out. It's overwhelming and throbbing with heartache. Very effective.
The fourth stanza so reminds me of me.....perhaps we are kindred that way. I love that stanza....it highlights the imperfections of us, and how we need to compromise to make it all work. It's genius.
The fifth, as I've already stated, had me shivering from "rampant". Something in that word really pierced. I think it may have been the emotion behind it as you were writing?? Or I'm just a whacko, lol.
Then....the utter and complete abandon "no longer can I hide". This is a superb write, my friend, definitely worthy of going into my favorites library for sure!!! Love it!
