Amor Dolor

Love pain.......

I love you so much, 

my love, 

my heart, 

my breath, 

the strength of my bones, 

the blood in my veins, 

my strong wind, 

my morning sunrise, 

my love.  

What is the sacrifice today my love? 

What price do I pay? 

Another sleepless night? 

Anxiety over missing your text? 

Fear of us not being together? 

Do I abandon all other loves for you? 

What is the requirement my love, 

happily I will pay, 

and pay, 

and pay, 

even to the burning of my body on loves funeral pyre. 

The sacrifice to be paid is all of me, 

again, I say, gladly I will pay with tears, 

with heartache, 

with solitude, 

with another night of not hearing from you, 

hours waiting for a hello, 

your promises of the future are my necessary food, 

your pictures are my life-giving drink, 

I am drunk on the idea of you, 

I am happy with this inflicted sadness if this is loves price to pay?  

Love requires a sacrifice, 

no other sacrifice can be made than all of me, 

my love you are worth every bit of misery, 

if it brings you closer to me.

enchanting. this was another heartfelt plea, and there is so much bitter-sweetness to it.

Ern I am glad you are doing alright, I am having a good day, just battling with matters of the heart, like usual.

We believe that love and pain are parallel... but they shouldn't be. Yes, maybe when we're platonic, they are. We're willing to sacrifice everything for the other person, and most of us will find someone who will use that sacrifice. No, true love shouldn't be like that. That's why I stay away from any movie that says you have to suffer for true love. Love should be supportive and safe. It should be mutual. You should never sacrifice your happiness or health for love. Love heals.
still it was definitely a poem that i could understand if i was hopelessly in love with someone. because it is beautifully written and the feelings thoughts the endless stages of love and everything are beautifully stated. thanks for sharing.

my love you are worth every bit of misery,
if it brings you closer to me... im in pain rn
