Insanity Of The Unknown

I can understand being cursed
Or punished by the Gods
For the bad I've endorsed
And allowed to steer me for so long

But to put such beauty near me
Just to have it fade away
After a moment of being happy
Makes me heart sick with the blues

Someone I could truly love
Someone who can make me better
Someone who won't shove
Me away when it starts to get hard

But you're just too good to be true
Like a bittersweet daydream
Where I wake up without you
Now I wait to see if you'll indulge my crazy

I don't even know you that well
But I'd hate to watch you leave
Without offering you my heart for sale
So it can experience your love, too

I know you're testing me out
To see if I'm worth your time and love
One second hopeful, the next full of doubt
Just reject me so I can stop being insane

It's the unknown that's killing
And the fear of losing something I don't have
That keeps my head reeling
Why do I desire something that's out of my league?

Now this rhyming pattern I LOVE! Wonderful job on this one, clear and detailed-just the way I like it. Also, would you mind checking out my latest poem "Brighter Day?"

[Ian Faraway]

Of course. And yeah, the other one was a bit experimental. Thank you for the review.

[Sami Khalil]

A splendid read and write...Thank you for sharing...:)

This is sad and hurts to read... love is a fickle thing...
Heartbreak is inevitable, yet within the tribulation you'll find true love. The journey may be rough at first but once you find the right path it's worth riding through the stormy sea...trust me, Ian...

A heartfelt expression, well done!

[Frieda P]

This wraps my head around the beginning hopes of a new relationship....all the questions, am I good enough, where is this going, is there any hope at all. Good read with my wake up cuppa this morning.

Now I wait to see if you'll indulge my crazy

There should be t-shirts, just saying. :-)

[Ian Faraway]

Good thing about indulging the crazy is the T-shirt... and I hear the brownies are fairly delicious as well. Thank you for reading and reviewing. -Ian

[Frieda P]

Ha love looks altogether different on brownies....my pleasure Ian.

[Ian Faraway]

What if I told you that this longing and insanity for love WAS for brownies? ^.-

[Frieda P]

That's a poem of a whole different color....

[Ian Faraway]

A delicious color?

[Frieda P]

Possibly psychedelic....

[Ian Faraway]

Oh... oh my.... well just to reverse the confusion I've caused it was about love.... not brownies. But I do love brownies , too.

[Frieda P]

Hmmm yes, I figured as much, but brownies are far less complicated....

[Ian Faraway]

Like life SHOULD be. Simpler and less complicated is a lot less stressful to deal with.

[Frieda P]

Lot more ingredients go into it and no dang recipe....

[Ian Faraway]

Yea what gives with that? I don't know how to bake without a recipe book with life

[Frieda P]

I'm clueless and I've mostly stopped trying to figure it out....

Ian.. This is sad but beautifully written at the same time. Thank you for the read request. Rose
