This Nightmare

by It Only Hurts When Im Breathing   Oct 6, 2009


This is too overwhelming, too powerful,
The pain is too great, too controlling
I long to lose myself in your eyes,
Wipe the tears, create the smiles,
Shush the sobs, hear the laughs,
Reach out, feel you there,
Sleep at night, surrounded by your warmth.
This love crushes me, more than hate could,
my heart is restricting my breathing,
It tightens with every breath, each for you,
How I would give it up for you,
How I would give you it all,
Late at night, i feel for you,
you're never there, coldness becomes my cloak,
My arms ache for you, dreams are filled of you,
Why do they care so much, why do they interfer?
We do no harm, we've done nothing wrong,
I'm fed up of their remarks, their ideals,
I'm fed up of this life, this nightmare.

    I long to lose myself in your eyes
    -This was a lovely line, wanting to get lost in your lovers eyes is something everyone wants. I like how you started the poem out saying what you want and then ending it saying why you can't have it. 5/5
