Leave Out All The Rest

Leave Out All The Rest

My heart blindly follows you
Though your flaws stand out.
I know the danger you impose
But push aside all doubt.

Like a moth to the flame
I see the ruin up ahead.
But still I go on the same
Walking straight to my death.

What about you keeps me
Entranced and unaware?
How can one person take away
My cautiousness and care?

I should be on tip toes
Instead I walk the ledge.
One step further to you
Can drop me over the edge.

My heart is painting pictures
Of a perfect life with you.
My mind is saying, "NO!"
Oh, what am I to do?

Why must this be a battle?
Why do I only see your best?
My heart looks for the good
And says, "Leave out all the rest."

I'm hoping I'll awaken
From this nightmare, from this dream.
If I wasn't so in love
Things wouldn't be as they seem.

    Wow, finally I read a poem that says in a poetic form
    what all my friends say about my boyfriend,
    Lol. I really realted to this, especially in the stanza...
    "My heart is painting pictures
    Of a perfect life with you.
    My mind is saying, "NO!"
    Oh, what am I to do?"

    My heart does paint pictures of a perfect life,
    although my head screams no,
    and it's so confusing!
    Hahaa, know that you're not alone, Darling.

    Great job.
    5.5

    That's love all right. You sound like you're speaking from experience..
    The heart is a funny thing, it only seems to believe what it wants.
    5/5 m'dear. I've missed your work!

    This was so beautifully written!
    Such a great opener with each stanza better than the last.
    The flow was flawless and I love the ending.
