Dreaming of love

The usual stuff...

 

 

I've burned all the bridges

Closed every door

Blocked each path

That could take me to you

 

I’ve ruined every possibility

Of seeing us together again

You probably imagine me

Being with other men

 

Yet I miss you more each day

I'm smitten by your lovely charms

A year has gone by since you left

Still wish I was locked in your loving arms

   

 

“Real love hurts, real love makes you totally open and vulnerable, real love will take you far behind yourself, and therefore real love will devastate you, if love does not shatter you, you will not know love.” -Unknown

This is a very complex piece, full of emotions and pain!
It's just like ad if you are intentionally trying not to dream about him, but it's just like you've no control over your heart which is somehow forcing you to dream about him even a complete year!
I felt very close with this write, but (un)fortunately...Life is very different and now has been drastically changed for me..and I just wish the same for you! :)

I ending quote is really so beautiful and I think so it's of St. Augustine ( as far as I remember, as I'm quite good in quotes I think so! lolz..)

But, it's such a beautiful write! Amazing!! :)



"Love is like standing in wet cement, the longer you stay the harder it is for you to leave it...
And you can never get out of it, leaving your shoe behind!" :)

The more you try to get away, the more you get tied up. The more you want to prove that you are not guilty, the more you will feel that, In your bones, in your heart. The harder you try to cut yourself off from the person you love the most, the more it'll hurt and you'll find it impossible to.

Very true write. I exprienced this very recently. ~KA~

first of all, i like the picture you posted with it.
i really like this poem. the feelings toward the lost or left behind man are layered and complex for such a relitively short piece. Most of the poem seems to me wishing and lonely, the quote at the end is really what tones it to be sad.
you say there's more work required, i could only suggest making it longer! ^_^

my only opinion is it sounds more like an actual letter then a poem

[Jane Doe]

I've so been in this place, of having burned every bridge to a person/relationship. I love this piece, it is short, sweet, and to the point. Great writing!

[larryb]

so so nice i know this pain as many do and you explain it wonderfully

[Ladysue]

It is very hard to let go of something that was once so precious to us and made us feel a certain way. Many people will relate to this in some way as you know I do. Letting go is very painful!!! Great expression, Caffieine!!

well you hit the nose dead on i can understand relate how love can turn an ordinary person batshit lunatic! and it hurts. well written

[Nicole Renee]

I thought this was really lovely! :D I liked the first stanza because it shows that you're trying to move on, so you 'burn' every thing that has to do with that person. Still, I really liked this poem..

It's always difficult to move on after a relationship has ended. Specially if the person we had that relationship with is someone we truly love/d and care/d about. Hopefully your heart will heal through time. I like your poem. I can relate in some ways. I think we all have that one type of person in our lifetime. Continue to express yourself and vent whatever is in your heart. Even if the words are not exactly pretty, it helps to be able to just let our thoughts and feelings go.
