Love Me Anyway

by Melissa   Sep 14, 2011


Sometimes I feel I might choke on love,
it can seem so heartless and cold

My lips once the shade of rose petals
unexpectedly turn blue,
words lay as still as tombstones,
frozen in mid-thought

My gaze no longer flits about
in eager blinks
but becomes blank and meaningless,
like my shadow
all hollow inside

Sometimes love feels just like this

    I adore this! I like the darkness of love that you describe. It's not all roses and laughter!
    The 2nd stanza really stood out to me.
    Great job!

    The title is so alluring I had to comment. A beautiful piece inscribing the enigma of being submerged In love.

    This poem is so true.
    I've felt this way before.
    you could see what you were writing & it flowed so well.
    good job
    5/5
