Illusion Of Love

Amazing how our love is tainted,
We would of laughed if someone thought it was sainted
You have always wanted me to stay away,
Yet you call me and want me to come quickly to stay
Unreal how I can't figure out why you continue to tease,
Oh, wait, that's right...you want to be pleased
I gather it's me who keeps going back and forth like a yo-yo,
Is it really something that can be so??
So blind that I can't see what you do to me,
Even if I opened my eyes I would still refuse to see
I will continue to live in MY WORLD of US being together,
You'll continue to live in REALITY of you using me forever
Perhaps we can come to a middle ground in the end,
YOU wanting me for lust and ME wanting you as a friend.

Wow….
It is really great…
Men search for sex…..
While women search for intimacy and closeness…
And deep emotional ties…
It is a great truth…
And you have pictured it well…in your poem…
Loved it so much…

[Black Cat Fever]

This sounds a lot like emotional black mail or just plain control, very unhealthy and isn't love at all. Excellent poem describing this situation.

[KatiePie]

This was an incredible write you portray emotions PERFECTLY.

This was well penned, it's only when we love ourselves that we realise that kind of behaviour isn't acceptable. Those type of people end up lonely...good read

[Ruth]

Powerful emotion hon, there has to be a balance, that is portrayed really well here!

[Poetic Beauty]

This is raw with emotions that how love sometimes can be or can feel tainted. When we love so deeply we will go through many difficult things to be with that person. the flow of the poem isn't perfect but it is easy to follow and I love the last three lines in this poem.

[Taylor H.]

it reminds me a little bit of Inception. The only problem I had with this was the choppy lines and the forced rhyme. Loved it if you fix those 2 things

Well someone has to be the yo-yo and someone the string, right?
ack ... well stated and raw.

good job
