Am I In Love?

Am I in Love?

 

At night, laying sleepless,

I bemoan the treacheries of life

with my love

and appreciation....

And though,

in my dark,

and cavernous foundations;

Roar the pillars of stone,

and shake them.

 

Waked,

by curiosity,

and interest,

I stare intently at you,

and though I cannot see,

You are there.

Tangible,

by my creativity,

and invisible,

by my negativity.

And through the secret game

that to many, has forbidden name

we speak.

 

Fear,

and pride,

my greatest hatreds,

now run through me,

though the game of

Predator, and Prey.

I am the prey,

of myself,

in the black vapors

of my confusion,

you two rought me

with confusion

elaborate,

and woe,

despicable.

My thoughts now strand

off into many divisions,

all joining together,

to reveal my fear,

of disappointing you.

 

The thing we connect through bings,

and so we remain in contact, it seems.

But ever, we thought beautiful

I am marred, and proved untruthful.

You do not deserve me,

but somehow

in this void-feeling heart of mine,

I sense you care.

I care.

 

Am i in love?

 

My Mind craves you,

and I put much emphasis on that,

for that, might,

just might,

be my undoing.

Should I look to the East,

to find you, riding, in

shining, and metallic armor,

And see only dust clouds

roam aimlessly from North to South.

But I hear banners, in the West,

all risen high,

as high hopes,

and high spirits,

to guide them.

This, is what I've waited for,

for years,

as do we all.

But my misinterpretations,

now lead the banners,

with silver swords,

bearing the name of hate.

with this,

I deserve only

to lay my head down,

lamely, for you to hew it

from me, and call it,

Victory.

 

This, I forsee,

this unsensible

and crazed

sight,

that passes through me,

and guides me

to all darker paths of light.

So that I may be dimmed,

and in a cycle refrained,

I should, as a doomsayer,

say my doom,

and I, as a fool,

should subconciously make that true.

 

This is what I see.

I fear, for you,

and fear,

for me.

 

I burden all, though a child

and my will is heavy, upon you,

and wild, is my desires

and should you penetrate my curtains,

you should see,

the cold bitterness, of my truth.

 

But all the while,

mind and soul crave you,

and body revives,

slowly,

but surely.

I sense love,

and my stomach churns,

knowing I shall hang my head

in Guilt.

 

Am I In Love?
