Love

by Vermilion   May 16, 2013


I've written so many lines
About this thing called love
But after all of those rhymes
I haven't given enough

And it's time for me to
Whether I want to or not
Because this will be proof
That I won't let you rot

I know you're getting bored
Of me saying these words
But I won't be ignored
Because you don't have to hurt

Love is fighting to the very end
And love is losing just to make amends
I won't keep quiet just so you can die
This is the last time I'll tell you why!

My life collapses on the inside
Whenever you're in pain
I won't give up and say, "I tried..."
I won't let this be in vain!

Whatever you need me for, I'm there!
All I care about is stopping your fear
Don't make me do what I promised I wouldn't
Just because I can't doesn't mean I couldn't

Hiding all your problems isn't helping a bit
You're deepening a bottomless pit
I'm tired of hearing how your life is shit
Yet not getting to help with it

Because love won't live without a cause
And life wouldn't exist without flaws
So it's time you accepted that I can help you
Because the only problem is that you don't want me to

And love is losing all respect to show what's true
Please let me stop this, I beg of you
I'm dying because of all this pain you feel
Because I fear the scars will never heal

And love has no common sense, but it has a choice
Though your life is on the fence, you still have a voice!
And though you don't think so, you can have a second chance
Just take a glimpse of the life that's to come, just a quick glance

Can't you see the future's bright?
But only if you'll stay and fight,
And if you change your mind,
I'll stand by your side!

Now here's a farewell,
A message that's from Hell
I just can't live without you
Goodbye. I love you.

    Wonderful poem! It can really tear you apart when you love someone who doesn't see their own value, or the value of their life. One improvement I'd suggest is that your rhyming pattern varies throughout- sometimes it's abab, sometimes aabb. Fixing that up would help to make the piece more consistent and help it to flow better. Other than that, great job :)

      Thank you! That's actually a problem I've had for a while. I suppose I should try harder to fix it.
