The Shores of Alone

He came to me quite suddenly
on a cold and lonely day.
He brought me warmth, he brought me hope,
he stole my heart away.

No reason to suspect it,
things ended long ago,
I never would have dreamt it
but he made me love him so.

He came and stole my logic,
he turned it inside out.
He made me want and need him
with fervor, without doubt.

He took my heart and held it
in a kind and gentle way.
The only probem rampant
is he's not allowed to stay.

He stole my good intentions
replaced them with desire.
I never planned to be here
in emotional quagmire.

He took away my heartache
although it's coming back.
He gave me hope, he gave me bliss,
but now I'm on the rack.

He stole my peace of mind,
now I'm tortured in the night.
I fight the urge to run to him,
an unexpected plight.

Beloved thief, I ask you,
will you ever be with me?
Or will you hand me back my heart
because you can't break free?

Great, simply great!! More of the same, please.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Wow. So well written. But so much pain. I've felt that kind of pain in a very similar situation - I don't think I've hurt more in my life than then. I really feel for you if you're going through that. I know it's a terrible cliché but time does heal it eventually though the present be like hell itself.

like the way you compared a thief to a lover...sorry for the pain you are going through...it must be hard to still be in love with someone(beloved thief) when he has disappointed you so

Superb! Very well done! Suffering has that one good side: it makes us creative.
