Unconditional love

by M I L L Y   Sep 7, 2012


I remember how screwed up I was
I remember I was in a deep dark onyx hole
I remember how much I used to hate love

My brightest days were filled with rain
My deepest fear was to feel pain

I often found myself hurting those who loved me
Keeping them at a distance
Feeling content because I crushed them
Knowing that I was untouchable
It was pleasurable to control their feelings

But then I met him
I cared enough to warn him
Insisted that he stays away
Informed him that he might get burned

He demanded a chance
Did not care about the flames
I knew something was different
And began to admire his persistence

Because of him
The world now makes sense
I look back and feel ashamed
I've caused a lot of pain

That deep hole is now bright scarlet
Those unwanted feelings of hatred
Have been replaced when
Unconditional love was born.

    I like this part the most because it must have been something really terrible that caused a person to feel sad even on the happiest day. Also, everyone is scared of hurting and this fear prevents most of them from loving again. You really had written about these feelings very well in your work. Nice poem!

    It flowed quite nicley and progessed well at the same time.

    "He demanded a chance
    Did not cared about the flames
    I knew something was different
    And began to admired his persistence"

    It is a beautiful piece... The feel of person who transformed on getting a touch of true love is brought out well... :)
    What khalid pointed out is correct, you could edit it and your piece would be flawless...
    Good work:)

    Nice piece of you, full of emotion. However, I have some critiques:

    But then I met him
    I cared enough to warned him
    Insisted that he stay away
    Informed him that he might get burn

    This stanza has misgrammar and should read as follows:

    Until then I met him
    I cared enough to warn him
    Insisted that he stays away
    Informed him that he might get burned

    He demanded a chance
    Did not cared about the flames
    I knew something was different
    And began to admired his persistence

    This stanza also shouls read:

    He demanded a chance
    Did not care about the flames
    I knew something was different
    And began to admire his persistence

    This aside, the poem is valuable and interesting.
