A Lovers Duel

By Midnight Phoenix

If I die tonight I want you to know
I'll never regret the fights that we've battled
And the sadness we've shown

The hurting words and the biting silence
Would scratch but never scar
The pain only came from the times we left ourselves apart

Someday you may see what I see, I'd rather cry from thoughts of you
Rather than not knowing what I don't have
But I do

I do know love will bring many pains
But I can see it only for its gains

It maybe right for me
Come in sight of me

Come and feel what I feel for you

    you write with such gentle grace, its very touching and refreshing..the last line held such emotion for me it was like watching you bare your soul *kicks self for not reading you sooner*

    this is very beautiful, I agree but it makes me sad because i can relate so well but i'll think about that later because my heart's broken at the moment, thank you for your comments, and when i get a chance i'll try meditation like you suggested ~Dawn

  • A former member wrote: me likey..great job..i love your pic of davey--my dream boyfriend --melorra

  • A former member wrote: I liked this a lot. Looking back on fighting and hurt, but not regretting it and feeling the love more. It's far more realistic than many "I fucking hate you" poems. Keep it up. ~Illiana~

  • A former member wrote: Okay, correction on mine: It's far more realistic than THE "I.. and so forth.
