This is everything i know

by Millions   Jan 13, 2008


It will blister and scrape itself into your skin
This insatiable, unwanted desire for another.
The lust of a lifetime with delicate eyes.
The burning, and yearning and torment it will put you through.
Yet we, as a people, will pine for it.
Pine for it, cry for it, kill for it.
This scorching, torturing, heart-ripping feeling
It will conquer your strength,
take your pride,
bring you to your knees.
Forever dedicated you will blindly follow its calling.
To the ends of the earth, to the boundaries unknown.
To think one could have this much power over another,
it's insane and unrealistic.
Yet still, we will long for it
We will long for it and we would die for it.
Head-over-heels for another.
The incurable abuse we submit ourselves to.
The perishing fires of emotion that consume us.
The utter misery of the self-induced emotional suicide.
It will bring you to your knees, don't question that.
His eyes will ignite fires from your core,
Evoke smiles in the dankest moments of suppression.
Like the drug, you've convinced yourself,
you could give up
He will never be out of your head.
He will never be far from your heart.
And you will never forget the moment
when you realize you've fallen for him.
