Illusion Of Love

Amazing how our love is tainted,
We would of laughed if someone thought it was sainted
You have always wanted me to stay away,
Yet you call me and want me to come quickly to stay
Unreal how I can't figure out why you continue to tease,
Oh, wait, that's right...you want to be pleased
I gather it's me who keeps going back and forth like a yo-yo,
Is it really something that can be so??
So blind that I can't see what you do to me,
Even if I opened my eyes I would still refuse to see
I will continue to live in MY WORLD of US being together,
You'll continue to live in REALITY of you using me forever
Perhaps we can come to a middle ground in the end,
YOU wanting me for lust and ME wanting you as a friend.

Wow….
It is really great…
Men search for sex…..
While women search for intimacy and closeness…
And deep emotional ties…
It is a great truth…
And you have pictured it well…in your poem…
Loved it so much…

Awesome Write...great rhyme scheme and this wonderfully-but
i love the little narrative of 'wants and more wants questioned"-
-and the last two lines are perfect--Really-an excellent poem!!!

There is old saying. Love and hate is a heartbeat apart. I would add love and lust is pretty damn close too. A very good poem. You told a strong story. Sometime we take what we need to feel better. I like the last line. A excellent poem.
