Everything

Everything in me tells me run
You're beauty entices,
You hurt just for fun

Everything in me tells me to go
For the life of me
I can't figure out why I love you so

Everything in me tells me to wait
For just the right moment
To make my escape

Nothing within me feels right about us
You've stirred up emotions
You've stirred up the dust

It blocks my vision
And I'm unable to see
Where to cut the bonds with ease and precision

Everything in me tells me you're wrong
I can't keep my voice quiet
Can't keep wandering along

Everything in me forces me to turn
Break free of your grasp
And walk away as you burn.

Love and longing can so powerfully overwhelm a soul... can even turn to a place of pain... can become a prison where we long to escape, yet still find it more comfortable then running. You pain a vivid picture of the heart in turmoil.

At times love hurts us so bad, this poem expresses that pain, the need to escape a bad relationship, yet be still in love, still feel the pain ripping your innards apart, and does he really care or give a damn, you want so much to scream out YES but inside lying there next to the pain you know the answer, so you run with the tears blinding you........heartfelt poem
