Love That Kills

Love That Kills

I miss the way my heart could love

For the ones I waited for

But ripped my heart from flesh and bone

This soul may love no more

Who gave them right

To build that light that brightens

Our darkest days

That paints the world in such a glow

The beauty comes in rays

They come they see they conquer

And they leave our hearts a mess

So you can see why love and me

Are strangers nonetheless

This is why I'm lonely

Nay I wish to be alone

For what is love but hurt and heal

(And us outcasts)

We're better on our own

I absolutely related to this eloquent poem. I felt the pain, the angst of remembering lost love, and the inner sadness of not being able to love, the inner struggle to accept this. I`ve never read a poem that gave this kind of pain, justice. You did, and you did it so exquisitely! I thank you!
