PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In your arms all the agony fades away,
the scars from my past heal,
the pain disappears without a trace.

Trapped in a barren wasteland,
don't leave me, alone under the stars.

Can love truly set me free,
how can it, when it does nothing but cage me in heartache.

Seems like a lifetime since I believed,
when I gave myself to anyone, all for love.

When I never had to run,
when I wasn't crying each night,
alone into my pillow.

Seems like forever since I felt free,
happy and blind with love.

It completed me,
that life of love,
when I let my heart free.

Now, I'm caged by fear,
love isn't something I can fight.

It treatens to control me,
but that life I lived before is gone.

What good is it to love,
to dream of forever,
if one day, you wake up,
cold and alone.

I don't want to dream anymore,
if it means I'll be alone again,
when it's all over.

Is love really worth that,
can it overcome everything?

Breaking free of the confines of this life,
singing a song of beauty,
one that lingers for years to follow.
