Scorching heat casted upon me
Squinted eyes and drops of sweat
The cold pool, a pleasant shock
Oozing confidence in my bikini
Tan skin, mermaid hair
Behold, this is not my life
I'm not that girl
I hate the summertime

I'm in love with you
Though I feel I hardly know you
The distance makes me feel
Unaccustomed to who you are
We live separate lives
How could our love last
All the way to the end of time
It is unrealistic
And for more than just that reason
What I want from you
I feel you cannot provide
Not because you aren't capable
But simply because you aren't mine
You belong to the world
You belong to yourself
You shouldn't have to answer
To anyone else
You're far too innocent
To carry on with this
Maybe I should let you go
But the direction I should take
I really don't know
I'm waiting for a sign
Something crystal clear
Until I see it
I'll always be living in fear
Afraid that our relationship will fail
And I end up alone

Tears roll down my face
Leaving tracks across my cheeks
It seems like the end is inevitable
Our relationship will only fail
You're so far away from me
And we're at different places in our lives
Our love is so strong
Yet so weak at the same time
I'm so conflicted
I've never wanted anything more in my entire life
I've never loved someone so much
But I can't seem to believe that what we have will survive
Through all the obstacles that we face in our relationship
The distance, the trust, our past
It all piles on top of each other
Making it hard to see clearly
Sometimes I don't even know if you want me
You're the girl of my dreams
You're the only one I see
And I cannot get over this fear that lives within me
The fear that we will end and I will lose you
And I won't know how to move on
Or how to continue living this life
You are my everything
You are all I know
What will I do
If I ever lose you
Title inspired by the song by Smokey Robinson

Betrayal and heartache are the resultant of the most sorrowful of circumstances
It comes from losing yourself in the one you love the most
And losing them as a result of being a complete fool
This duo has a way of eating at the soul
It sneaks up in the most beautiful of disguises
It uses you for your love and your generosity
Planting itself in the thing that attracts you most
It makes you need it to survive
Takes all advantage of you and ***** you dry
Leaving you for dead without a way to sleep, breathe, or function
You've become a soulless body
And a heartless being
A dark feeling of anomie
Depressed and meaningless

No more love poems to be written
In this heart of mine
Only feelings of loss and resignation
Take over my soul and cause me agony
It seems like I've been down this road one too many times before
And I sit here wondering why I did the same things
Thinking of all the signs I chose to ignore
I wonder if I'll learn my lesson
I wonder if I'll ever heal
Heartbreak takes a toll on people
And I've been suffering for so long
Thoughts and wonder fill my brain
About if I'll ever love again
If I'll ever find trust in another

Straddle me in your pink robe
Lean down to kiss me
As I pull the strings
The sides fall away
Exposing you to me
My hands wrap around your warm skin
And feel your perfect body
As my lips feel your kisses
Soft at first
Passionately growing
You're my muse
You're so fantastic
This life is nothing without you

darling
the night is young
and we've a lot
of loving to do
so come
hold me close
until the morning light
ensues

darling
we've the rest
of our lives
to enmesh
in each others arm
our worlds
shall collide
in a cluster
of celestial charms

darling
our dulcet garden
of everlasting
dreams
shall be a glorious
togetherness
singing in
a gurgling stream

darling
you've painted
a lovely scene
in the chamber
of my heart
may we e'er remain
entwined
in love's
beautiful art
