Loving Him...

A poem about the pain of unrequisted love.

I will confess

to a crime

that is yours;

that is mine.

 

And this crime,

I must confess,

is the sin

of such sweetness.

 

For this crime

like a storybook rhyme

is of the heart

so where do I start?

on how to say 'I love him'.

 

So to tell the world

of my crime

I will tell

what it's like

to wish that he were mine...

 

When was the last time

you sufficated in light?

So beautiful

it seems to harmless

but then it takes your breath...

Away

 

Have you tried

reaching out

to grasp Heaven

when you yourself know

that you will never reach it?

 

When did you last

want to let go

of all hopes and dreams

just for the chance

to be called 'his'?

 

Loving him is like...

recieving the pain

of my unrequisted love

over and over again.

 

Yet loving him,

with his kind words

and gentle smile,

gives me strength

to try and try again.

 

To look at that light

to reach Heaven

for him to need me

like I need him.

 

And if that means

my crime causes me pain

I, alone, will take the pain,

and suffer from it,

until I can call him 'mine'.

 

Loving him is like...

drowning in tears

that never fell...

but how do I forget

the only one I've ever loved?

Author's Note

Do you understand what my 'crime' was?

i really enjoyed writting this poem. it's about something we all do, weather as children, adults, or teens- just maybe not in the exact way i put it... I hope you liked it, though!

You either
A) Cheated on him
B) Have severe trust issues
C) Want to love him, but may not be "in love" with him, so you don't know how to deal with him.

That's the best I could come up with.

Tell me sometime, if I got it right.
