I Love You

I love you,

I'm sorry that sometimes i struggle to show it, 

My affection seems overdo,

I know that i'm a hypocrite, 

But i'm scared to show my heart to you, 

I'm scared of getting hurt,

I'm scared of being judged, 

My past has made me an introvert. 

But I try to cover all the dust, 

Still i cannot hide my scars,

I suffer at the hands of lust,

And i'll hide beneath the stars.

Trust me and i will not let you down,

You're the only one I've ever loved,

So in this love i'll happily drown.

I'm sorry for my jealousy,

I cannot help myself,

I fear you'll use me carelessly,

Please understand i know that i need help.

I'm haunted by my mistakes,

I'm sickened by my body,

I've been through so many heartbreaks,

And I've seen my wrists so bloody,

I promise i'll be good to you,

And always stay by your side,

No matter what we may go through,

I'll love you till' i die. 

Author's Note

Sorry if some of these didn't really rhyme. I wanted to maintain the meaning without adding words that wouldn't make sense.

Poetry doesn't have to rhyme. It can be sloppy in its own way sometimes, and I've done that before. There are many kinds of poetry and I'm sure you know that. The love you have for this person is deeply understandable, and I can't say that I've been there because I'm not you. But I can say that I had similar experience in the past. Keep up the writing, I'm interested to read more of your poetry.

That is a good idea to not compromise the meaning of a good write just so it will rhyme. Good write here. He sounds like a lucky guy.

Touching words, and giving the reader a hint of sadness and desperation alongside the intensity.
