It shatters my heart
And steals my dreams
I'm tortured by love
Or so it seems
It comes with the night
And hangs in the air
It fills me with fright
And brings me despair
It laughs in my face
With such evil tease
For I'm the disgrace
That love will not please
It hits me so hard
With feelings so low
I'm left only scared
And prey it would go
Out of my life
And so far from me
I'm tired of strife
And the mocking I see
I'm tired of pain
And thought you should know
It drives me insane
With a horrible blow
Straight to my heart
And deep in my soul
It tears me apart
Exacting it's toll
I'm tortured by love
Of that I'm aware
I'm tortured by love
But who of you care

This was so painful to read
It brought tears to my eyes...
Love can be painful, but when you find the right love, It is the most wonderful experience anyone could know....



I slept and dreamed that life was beauty was thy dream then a shadowy lie? -ESH-

Temptress*Moon: Sorry about that, I didn't mean to make you cry. This was just a few angry thoughts that sprang from my warped mind. Ya, love can be a wonderful "experiance" until you realize that it's just an illusion. I suppose I'll find "true love" some day, but not any time soon because I'm not even going waste the effort looking for it. Thank you so much for your reply, I'm glad you liked one of my many views of the darker side of love.

Xeonox: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it too.

mystic requiem: The life of a repo-man is always intense...LOL! ;-) Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my work.

Verve: Well, if you guys are feeling it then I guess I'm doing my job huh. I want people to feel my words and think after having read them. Thank you so much.

Isis: Thanks Lisa, but don't worry, I'm not that depressed. This was just another one of my many "dark passions" so to speak. Though I've been (and am for that matter) "tortured by love", I'm still an old romantic fool. So I fall for it every time. I know that's a weakness on my part and that my love should be more stoic as everybody else's seems to be, for the the world to accept. But I just can't get myself to be that way, oh well. Thank you!

Kethry: Thank you and I shall, "write on" that is! ;-)
