Uncut

it was love
in its purest form
like the most powerful drug
coursing through my veins
leaving me unable to function
higher than i have ever been
then in an instant it was gone
nothing left but pain
unimaginable withdraws
sucking what is left of my soul
into the darkness
loss and regret  my only friends
the pain they bring
makes me feel alive
its the only thing i have left
and i cherish it
it's all i got
and i will never let it go

A raw and emotional poem. I can definitely relate to this one. The loss of a love can be so painful, yet we simply want to continue holding onto them, to their memory.

thanks very much for reading my stuff i truly appreciate it, and thanks for the words i appreciate you taking the time out to respond with input and opinions it means a lot. and you are correct love is something that people take for granted until its gone and then they idealize it as perfect when i think just like you said that they just want to hold on to it.
