I'm In Love With An Aging Memory

I'm in love with an aging memory,
I'm kissing a fading dream.
My heart was stolen awhile ago by a prince who cant be seen.
I'm running fast- I don't know where or how long it will take.
All I want is to find you safe,

Not a stranger with your face.

I used to think that love was full of happiness and hope.
Full of challenges and passion- dreaming of places to elope.
But love- it's more sour then the candy that you take.
Yes, Its raging and its jealous filled with un-denying  hate.
Stab me in the back and pin me to the unforgiving ground.
Lies and accusations thrown around.
You love me- oh no you don't.
Lying b*****d. You're a joke.

But sometimes I can forget. Sometimes I remember when

You used to kiss my tears and pull me to my feet.
You used to hold me tight- say "it's alright" and watch me fall asleep.
You were my friend- my saviour and now I cannot look you in the eye.
And I ask why. Just why.

I never understood how hate worked or how people could be so mean.
But when I look at you I long to bring the pain that you caused me.
It seem to stop out all the love that I once held.
That I forgot. But when I close my eyes I remember when.

You used to say sweet things and watch the sun disappear.
You used to sing and dance with me- you used to stay right here.
You used to say it was fine and its alright and now I just can't screaming, begging why.
Just why.

What happened to those times?
What happened to the innocents and laughter and the light.
I want to forget.
I want to loose the darkness that is roaming around my head.

You are in my head.

You used to kiss my tears and pull me to my feet.
You used to hold me tight- say "it's alright" and watch me fall asleep.
You were my friend- why did it have to ever end.

I cannot look you in the eye.
Just why.

Your poem reads like a song, and I was trying to envision the music that could play alongside the lyrics. This is a very moving, frenzied piece. You tell the woes of heartbreak well.
