Save Me From Myself (Licentia)

Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.
Memories still haunt me, wish they would just leave,
But in my heart this hate tis here to deceive.
I asked myself if love could ever come true,
I thought it was that day when I had met you.
But I guess hearts are broken every day,
Even though love is all it tried to portray.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

Memories still haunt me, wish they would just leave,
But in my heart this hate tis here to deceive.
Stolen moments sing like a sad lullaby,
And I cant help but wipe a tear from my eye.
Like broken melodies they play in my ear,
And its your sweet voice that I cant help but hear.
But its way too late, the damage has been done,
The mistake was made, I thought you were the one.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

I asked myself if love could ever come true,
I thought it was that day when I had met you.
More lies for my heart, and I'm losing my mind,
And no matter what I do I just can't find.
Watching the clock as it sits up on the wall,
Looking at my phone thinking if I should call.
Finally my eyes opened so I could see,
And it seems that I let you get the best of me.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

    I love how your always so open to new poetry forms, you write them so well so I look forward to reading many more different styles from you. The sadness portrayed throughout this piece gripped my heart deeply capturing me and dragging me in with each line. This poem was flawless with vivid imagery painted into my mind as if it was oil on canvas. A gorgeous poem again by you.

    Oh and i'm glad you liked my sonnet, seeing as I wanted to write them because of how beautiful yours always turn out :)

    5/5 ~Mel
