Love Can't Kill

by Meme   Feb 4, 2012


I am not sure if it's
those butterflies that
I claim as my biggest
fear; or is it just you.

I'm living with a constant
belief that one day I will
wake up to find you
-a dream; an uncertain
reality. But what if you
were the one simple truth
among those sickening
lies?

I see you; yet I run.
Away from you or
away from the person
I become around you?

You simply accused me
of being the victim of my
own philophobic fears, only
if you knew the brutal truth.
Love cant kill you; it just
hangs your heart between
life and death.

    Many poems are written about love, sadness and the train of emotions that go with it.
    However I think this is so creative. Each line , each stanza was brilliant in it's own way, each one complimenting the other..
    Excellent

    You never cease to WOW! me with your brilliant thoughts. I love the end lines, 'Love can't kill you; it just hangs your heart between life and death'. I see love hovering around two admirers but the subject is hesitating to be consume in its pool; to avoid been a specter of oneself. The words flow smoothly cascading like a waterfall, resting and forming a lake; the bitter truth of the sweet but intricating 4 letter word. Wonderful is an understatement, you're AWESOME luv. KUDOS! ;-)

    This is everything I picture a poem could be.
    Straight to the point and with no complexity
    what so ever, Just your emotions being spilled down Naked and bear, The most powerful kind of poems.

    I can relate to this from A to Z, although I think what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, Even love, Don't you think =-)?
    5/5 never the less.
