Drugged Love

By Linwe

This was written when I was 16 or so... my first rhyming poem in English... and definitely drugged by teenage Love! It was supposed to be like "in spite of these cliches, there is indeed true Love" but it was a worthless Love... like this poem, but I hope somebody likes it anyway... somehow!


Don’t mention the lousiness of these lines
I know they suck, just hope you can read the signs
Telling you about the perfect world you mean to me
Some things words cannot tell, you just have to see

How often haven’t I tried to write you something adorable
Lost the count, never succeeded, always horrible
This one ain’t much different from all the others
But I hope you can appreciate it, even if it bothers

I hate those cliché words telling you about your soft lips and beautiful eyes
Because for as long as I have never looked into or touched them, they’re plain lies
You are flawless to me for as far as I know you and I don’t think this will change
When we’ve finally met, something we very soon have to arrange

How much truth the cliches can include
Been waiting for you all of my life, you’re so damned cute
Everything is real, but not for me to rhyme
Even though I love you, every day and at every time

I do hope I can make you happy and lift your feet off the earth
As happens to a mother who’s giving birth
I surely want you to know I like you all the way
From the deepest of my heart: Please, don’t forget to stay

And your tender touch that feels as if I’ve landed in a bath of wool
Denying my dreams about you would be so uncool
I am longing till in despair to hold you close
For I adore you, you’re the Love that I chose

Surrounded my heart with a beautiful chain
If I cut it loose, it would rain
Eros found a new home, it’s in my heart
He can stay there, I’ll be his guard

God bless your parents for their deed
With so much pleasure they created something lovely and sweet
They made you, the one I now cannot live without
You’re the embodiment of love and of you I am so proud

Without hearing you miss me and you need me
I would feel stabbed and my pain would bleed me
So with this I would like to plead you
Show you love me ‘cause you need to

Words are important after all
Without them all love would fall
To beyond disgrace of easy lovers
Who never got deeper than under the covers

I want to be with you for now and evermore
Always be the one to comfort you whenever you feel sore
Make your happy days shine even brighter
Any concurrence, I will fight her

Now that I gave you some cliches anyway
I want to tell you one more thing today
What we have can never fade
Thinking it could is one thing I sincerely hate

I know it can be neverending
Everlasting, as long it’s not depending
On miscommunications or any other shit
Things can’t separate us for even a bit

I never thought forever would exist
But you’re the one got me to swear it on my wrists
Always believed eternity had an end
Seems like I never exactly knew what it meant

As if bound with a wire
I’m filled with desire
Saw a gorgeous boy in my foretelling flame
Impressed me so much, I gave it your name, Dedetto

Now I’m like an addicted whore
Who needs her drug more and more
She’ll do anything to earn money for it
I will do anything to deserve your love and be worth it

Doomed to love you from the deepest grounds within
Inevitable as it is, surely not a sin
So tell me, do I make you happy, do I make you smile?
Love me for always, not just for a while....
