It taunts me
Challenging me as I stare
A second, a minute and an hour passes by
Yet, I remain silenced by its presence
Oh, how it does torment my soul!
My mind wonders to a better place
A place of joy and comfort
How I long to be there now!
Yet again, I am reminded of the one
My tormenter waits for me
I must complete the task
Only then will I be free again
So, I undertake the task
I pick up my instrument
Finally, the words begin to flow
Dearest one, my heart is breaking
Please forgive me
I cannot be your love
The time has come to continue on my path
Forever you will be in my heart
Finally the page is filled
No more does the empty page torment me so
As I gaze upon my words
The depth of my pain takes hold of me
How can I hurt my love?
Why do I feel as though my heart is bleeding?
It bleeds for him
The life is draining from me now
I begin to feel so numb
The rooster begins to crow
I wake from my dream
As I walk towards my desk, I see the one
My tormentor still waits for me
To write upon it words of pain and sorrow
I have decided not to turn away from love
So the empty page remains
No longer does it taunt me
My story is yet unwritten
I am the captain of my destiny

There is nothing wrong with that........some people are in love with hate or hatred.......those people are in trouble!

Yes, a lot of my poems deal with love. As you know it is a strong emotion. It can be positive or negative too.
Cheers!
