Foolish Love

I wanted to write a speed poem, so ok, here goes. I'm timing myself to see how long it takes too.

I wish I had told you, I'm desperate to hold you.
Nothing is alright, I need you tonight.
Drowned in regret, I wish to forget,
All of this guilt, after everything we built.

Is it over for sure? Is there anything more?
More than this pain? Could you trust me again?
Bittersweet songs, remind me of wrongs.
I choose to keep hope, give me enough rope.

I know it's hard, I'm here every yard,
If you say no, quietly I'll go.
I miss your face, your wonderful grace,
I know you agree you could still love me.

I hear your choice, your sweet soft voice,
Telling me 'Yes'. No longer a mess.
I emerge with pride, together we stride.
With hidden contempt, one final attempt.

Who knows how, a new beginning is now.
If this is the start, never ever apart,
For all of my days, in all of these ways,
I'll love you forever, or to the end of my tether.

How was that for 23 minutes work? Not directly relevent to my life (this time) but I still put a lot into it.

Love Me

Love me when I least deserve, that's when I really need.

Love me when I'm falling apart, before I start to bleed.

Love me when I'm all alone and I crave you by my side.

Love me when I fail you, you know how much I tried.

Love me when I'm vulnerable, you make me feel secure.

Love me when in sorrow. We'll get through, we'll endure.

Love me when I'm happy, it's you that lifts my soul.

Love me when chaos surrounds, I'll bring you some control.

Love me when in doubt, trust in Love you know.

Love me when so far away, to the end of the earth I'd go.

Love me when you're lost, let your heart lead you through.

Love me when in agony, let me bandage you.

Love me every single day, and every single night.

Love me for no other reason than to hold my hand tonight.

Love me because you want to, we're better off than alone.

Love me for the future; for Love, a life, a home.

Love me through the darkest days, life's easier when together.

Love me because I'll love you back. Unconditional and forever.

Desperation

Why did you have to push me away?

Why didn't you let me come and stay?

I went through hell more than ever before.

I felt so alone, I'd never needed you more.

You told me nothing but expected me to know.

You shut me out, I had nowhere to go.

My life was a mess and you dragged me under.

I let go; I felt free and relieved to surrender.

But it didn't take much and my heart broke tonight.

Before I could run and before I could fight.

If you'd only reached out, I'd have come.

I ask myself again; What have I done?

I wasn't even close to being strong enough.

My pathetic heart never had it so rough.

Nothing to grasp, nothing left for me at all.

In desperation, one last hope, I tried to call.

Then when I thought you were mad at me,

It was easy to for me to leave, you see.

Now finding your heart to be empty and hollow,

Brings me to tears and drowns me in sorrow.
