PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I swallow the pleasure

but choke on the pain

thrive in the up time

and drown in the down

and the in between time

I struggle to know

if part of you is really mine

you nourish me, and please me

then starve me and leave

with a mouthful of taste

and my love layed to waste

needing and believing

in loves purity

wanting and waiting

for an unknown quantity

and love's such a riddle

or a game I can't win

with so much so forbidden

untill love feels like sin

I'm trying to measure

the loss to the gain

trying to love you

and going insane

I'm still right here

I can't change my spot

and I also can't give

any more than I've got

but when I tell you I love you

I mean I love you alot

I think I finally know

what it means to love you

and I've finally decided

what I have to do

stop trying to measure

the loss to the gain

keep trying to love you

and going slowly insane

and love through lifes pleasures

and live through loves pain
