Poem: Ambivalence

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

AMBIVALENCE

If only you could
step inside my heart
for just a moment or two
you might be overwhelmed
by what I feel for you

Love, pure and simple love
that has no end
and longs to hold you near
for now and forever,
for as long as we’re both here

But this monster that rears it's ugly head
You make your entrance,
I can sense it
I can feel it
Please all I want is just to have it dead

I will protect you
I will keep you safe,
Find refuge within me
Let go of this monster
So we can be as happy as can be

It kills me
It crushes me
My love for you has the power,
To eliminate this monster
Every minute of every hour

Never leave nor forsake you
These words I have written in my heart,
Until my dying end
I will never depart

Deep in my heart I know
I could never be as happy
like I am with you now,
Absolute bliss is what I experience
Oh how I cannot wait to take that vow

But alas for now I must go,
Do you hear that familiar sound
The monster, my thief of joy
Calls me to battle
Another fight, another victory when I destroy
