This is the stuff// hearts are bound by

For a man I know is worth the trouble.

--You asked dear love, with such caution

"what is it you do to be okay..?"

I have no answers, I only have attempts

honestly..

 

I made war with those around me

I fucked men with women, in houses not ours

 

I barried the sum of 14

I cried less tears than that

 

A time spent in rehab, forgiveness not given

 

I fought, tooth and nail to hold my grief

 

Than I met a man, who didn't want me but knew I could love

I learnt to let in what I was willing out

I met you dear love.

So you could ask such a question

So I say to you, what I so sorely needed.

 

'--Everything is going to be okay, you are going to be okay. I am right here with you.'

 

 

It is every morning I wake that I see his face

I miss that look, that consuming love

The fights, the ache, the anger, the hurt

            ---I wished for many things but never for this

Silence and anger and malice

A war of hearts with business unfinished

A dotted line barren of a promise made

    "I will love you forever...."

 

Sigh... deep drawn breathes that ease the hurt

 

But you love, that smile I cherish so very much

That suttle change in voice, your indulgence at my touch

The moment you occupy with me and the space you share

----- Did you know this is the stuff love is made of?     

I bet you didn't, I bet your scared.

I bet you have one foot planted in pain and the other treading lightly

I am not here to hurt you, I am here to posess you

To take what makes you hurt and make it my burden to bare

This is so bright and clear. I really liked reading this over and over.

Keep writing!!

This was a very emotional piece and I think it was really nicely written. You can make the reader feel the exact way you want them to while portraying a sincere love poem which seems to be autobiographical. I think this came out great.
