To Love

By maddin foxxxy

I would love it if you came,
just as you are
designed by this imperfect world
with your dimples and the way
you stare.
I don't want to know about
your complicated ways
the stupid games
are not for me to play.
It used to be so simple . .
to say you'd love someone
until you already did
until you did.
I won't live this way..
hurried by your pace
dictated by time
judged
by what's your face.
I won't listen to this silence
clinging through my ear
It used to be so simple
to know i'd love someone
until I did.
I miss the you
that never was
I miss the me
that never is
And I'D love to love you
but i already did.

The world has gone wrong
ugly since so long
I couldn't see
through this fog.. .
there was no hope ---------------
only this
love

only love

    the pathways that you show us are so intrisic and internal to you, there seems to be a tenderness that you impart to your word, showing an honesty few articulate or dare to show......well done.........urban

    Wow. This piece was so... piercing. Tragic and sincere. Honest. I felt it deeply and I loved every word of it... and I hated it's utter truth. Great job. -Glass

    I don't know what to say.. after all of the comments I've left you, this one gives me trouble. I think the subject matter is too intense for me to recognize.. I'm weak that way.
