All Consuming

I once was whole or so I thought
until you came in to my life. Then I slowly
remembered what love was and was glad you
brought it out. I was really, really happy for
a while as I found going on could be much
more than just drudgery. The simple act of
being with you pleased my very soul. I fell in
love and I fell hard quite out of the blue.
I didn't know how to act or less of what to do.
I only knew I wanted to be with you, forever and
sleepless nights and wishful thinking shoved
you away from me. My mind was wrought, my
heart was full, overflowing with love for you.
The words I spoke and things I did were
in respectrospect not right. Don't know how to
act you see the feelings were brand new.
I honestly thought that love and words to that affect
were all I needed to combine our love as true.
A naive man with love so strong was blinded to
the outside world. My love grew and blindness to.
Love overwhelmed my senses and perception
and I really thought you knew. I never ever lied to
you that's what I'll always do...but darling I didn't
realize you probably could not tell. I screwed it up,
I jammed my mind...I really couldn't think. The thoughts
of you overwhelmed and still do everything I do.
Love is blind and blind I was and stupid in between.
Please forgive me and understand I never,ever intended
to be mean. Your words paralyzed me and smote me to
the floor. You said words that really meant...I'll see you to
the door.
You made me remember what love is but now there's a
black void. You filled me up and then took it out and
my heart is empty now. I hurt so much and I've had the
pain and must tradgectly endure. My sweet, sweet
kind maiden...you're the only one has the cure.
I'll prove all I say and I'll do it this very day...I only
want a chance again to love and laugh and dance again
...I am nothing without you.

Losing a love is like losing yourself. I've just found myself again but it's still a hard climb. Beautiful poem teddybear

Beautiful poem. I feel your pain. I wish I could take it from you. Give yourself all the time you need. We are here for you. Take good care.

Hi, boyshchrm6,
Enjoyed the read - though, not the pain conveyed. The narrator "has it real bad" as the title aptly states it. To remember what love is is priceless, however, and gives rise to the hope that the future holds a chance again to love and laugh and dance again with someone. Thank you for sharing.

.....touche'....but thats the beauty of life as they say.....for us to be more matured after every experienced... may it be a good or bad...and the best thing.....life has to go on......there are still people around us who needs our company than those who just wasted our time being with them.....when we made them as a very important one......
