I've Come to Realize

I've come to realize that you're beautiful to me

The darkness in your eyes warns me

That if I get to close I may fall

But the crimson of your lips is enticing

It pulls at me, calling, touching, embracing

I've come to realize that you're selfishness makes me sick

The person who I thought you were

Is dead and burried

The bitterness in your words breaks me down

I feel as though I may crumble

I've come to realize that you are my perfect half

Yet your imperfections are great

They are not your downfall...they are mine

And I am at a loss

I've come to realize that being with you was my salvation

Your unwillingness to change strengthened me

You're uncanny ability to hate...

It made my heart grown ten times the size

I've come to realize that your rejection from heaven wasted no tears

The angels did not cry

But satan did not rejoice

You are stuck.

You sick.

I am distraught over the loss of you

And I know nothing more then the smell of you

The feel of you created warmth within me

My hatred for you churns in my stomach

I am torn...

By the vision of you and I together and trying

Failing fast.

I fall. Broken.

I've come to realize that you are beautiful to me...

Your perfect imperfections are what made me.

Gosh, I felt like this for an ex wife, then again she was a Scorpio, you are either fighting or F****g...not that I hate scorpios...we are compatible, yet I just wouldn't do that experience again...I love the emotions...because I simply relate...that bitter feeling...lost between love and love lost.

Then I F'd her former best friend and have her brag about it, but that's another story altogether, it's boring...total snooze fest. :)

Excellent write.

Wow, I get it. I can feel this too, I have been in this place you have described. This poem encouraged me to write something new and deep. Your words have pulled some of my inner feeling to the surface to share. Thank you for sharing.
