A cure for my past

This is a poem about my boyfriend

 

                                       A cure for my past

The pain it burns inside of me ,

Screams to let it out,

I bundle it up close you see,

Afraid to let it shout.

 

I think of how it used to be,

And tears form in my eyes,

Even though it ended terribly,

And now I do despise,

 

When I sat in silence,

Crying to myself,

You came and broke the silence,

Took me off my shelf,

 

You wipe away the years I cry,

And help me to my feet,

I no longer wish to die,

Your love it can’t be beat,

 

Although the past fades slightly,

My tears they form so fast,

But when you hold me tightly,

You keep away my past,

 

You told me to forget them,

Told me it’s okay,

But babe I can’t forget him,

He just won’t go away,

 

I don’t see the faith you have in me.

Or why you love me so,

I love you so much it will always be.

I just wanted you to know,

 

I know this sounds so cheesy,

Stupid, like a child at play,

But loving you is easy,

And I want you to stay,

 

I love you, I love you.

I’ll say it again,

But babe it’s so true.

My whole life can finally begin,

 

And it’s all because of you!

Wonderful poem. Well written with great sentiments, that showed
"loneliness" so eloquently.

I particularly liked the first stanza...

Good work!

Thanks so much for submitting this to my "loneliness" contest!

This is certainly a curious piece as it carries well that sense of how the past haunts the present. Even as you love with all your heart, the past lingers there - you just cannot get it to go away that easily. The support he shows you though, helping you through those moments - yes, that is definitely a part of love - a dear friend told me about helping carry the baggage. When a person loves you, they love you for all you are. This is definitely an inspirational piece in the progression to a life beginning anew. Thank you for sharing.

Well done !I(Bravo)
Matters of the heart are the hardest of emotions .......to describe them we must live them and feel them deep inside.. know their pain and their cure and how much it touches our very soul

.keep the written verse alive by writing it!!!
