Love and I

Love and I

A Poem by Erica Ross
"

The inevitable, twisted affair with love and I.

"
People search the world for it
But I got it right here
Never been into my emotions
But I feel them so clear.
Always been too proud
So I've never been too loud to show it
So when you're looking for em
I act like I don't know them.
I've always lusted for it
But when I get it, I don't always want it
And once they leave
I wish I would have flaunted it.
People always want what's mine
So don't knock me for being stingy
I can never get enough love
So don't shun me for being greedy.
The most twisted mind
But my intentions are always good
I apologize for a thousand times
But I still do it.
The paranoia
I got it for ya
Hard to trust a soul
Cause people are so bold.
But in the back of mind
At the bottom of my heart
I know of true love
I just don't know where to start.
But when I attempt
I always feel as if it's not enough
Fighting with love until love gives up.
Then I am back at square one, alone with my thoughts
Thinking how in the hell did I do it again?
How did I manage to mess up?
I always jump in too fast because of my lustful eyes
Ending up with a broken heart, empty as the open sky
Or I push those away with my selfless ways
Letting the enemy take my mind, and with it, run away.
Sometimes I don't know where I'll end up
But most people wish they had my luck
Guess I better cheer up
Don't wanna f**k up.
Just wanna grow up.
Trying to get my love up.
