LOVE

and its composition

I am a body made to be loved and I know

this because

I do not love anyone and as

humans we

are all filled with,

built upon

love

it is this that creeps through our

bones in the early hours of

the morning when our eyes are hollow and

our hearts are

racing each

other

and I let yours win because

I need to

know you love me so

I don’t appear as empty as

I feel

sometimes I wonder how I am

not a pile of bones on the floor

under your feet

you are so much stronger

than

I am and I

love you

i like the giving in, and giving up to the feelings...the admittance of bowing to the feet of another...to admit lack of strength in fighting the feelings...

i really enjoyed this; there's a desperation and humility to it that's heartwarming and charming

thank you, yes, that is the exact essence behind this

I can feel the emotion, seems as though you lost someone very close or someone you love is going through something tough. Lines 8-12 really made me cheese:)

haha thank you :)

Wait, wait, wait. I am confused by this. I'm guessing the last few lines were meant for someone but I don't get the beginning part. Can you explain this to me?

sorry, i totally understand your confusion. i wrote this about the feeling of yearning for love and the want of feeling completely and utterly loved by someone else. the ending, for me, portrays the dependent love that can be craved, 'you are so much stronger than i am' represents an admiration, an almost submissive love from the narrator. the start i suppose is signifying the absence of love and the wish to feel loved. in short, it was evoked by the desire of being loved and looked after
