Bittersweet

 

 

I love you to death and beyond, my darling.

Eating hot coals for you would be no big deal,

But I have to say that I’d follow you always

To the end of the world and back in one breath.

Death would be sweet if you asked me to fall,

Throwing me close in the fire of pain

All a pleasure, all a delightful surprise.

 

When you’re near me tears sprint from my eyes,

Joy beat my heart to a numbly consent.

I adore you, my love. I would follow and lead…

I don’t doubt you’re all I could ever need.

A sinful sensation filling my lungs,

Your every note and email and letter screams passion

And I adore you my love.

 

The distance is shattering me from the inside,

And Colorado is so far from my arms…

What stranger bed do you sleep in, my dear?

What foreign arms surround your warm chest?

When is that much needed return

To where you belong,

In my arms?

When in love, you're ready to do just about anything for that person. You expressed that very clearly.

The distance is shattering me from the inside,

"And Colorado is so far from my arms�
What stranger bed do you sleep in, my dear?
What foreign arms surround your warm chest?
When is that much needed return
To where you belong,
In my arms?"

Sometimes when someone we love has to go away for a while..we don't know what they'll be like when they return. Or if they will still love us. You also expressed that very nicely
Great work,
Lauren

Oh! This was tragicly beautiful! At the same time sad. So much love and idolization of another. The want to be swept away in that love and never look back. At the same time, fear....as one ponders what the other half may be doing while so far away.

The picture you paint is a good example of lifes double edged sword.

I hope it all goes well for you.

A thoughtful poem, it brings to mind many thoughts and feelings that are hard to look at but sometimes we must face those fears. All-in-all a great peice. Keep writing.
