The woods

Eerie in bed I lay
My sight peering through darkness
As if 'twas something there
But I see nothing
I see nothing

Our love is a flame
Depending on me
But the fire is almost out
And I'm running out of wood

There are sadness to come
Sadness yet to be
I seek it, I've sought it
'tis the only thing real

(What is this dream?
Covered by gory anguish
And I wonder on me and you
But it's like you allready knew)

Are you happy now?
Are there any bliss left?
Will our love thrive,
Before everything's passed away?

I thought, I believed 'twould be us
Am I wrong, are we withering?
Have I loved in vain?
Will it all slip into oblivion?
Devouered by the eternal slumber of melancholy

My sight now peering through time
As if a future was to be
But nothing I see
Nothing I see

Modus vivendi
What'll be will be
I bleed crimson tears
Awaiting the eternal melancholy

(...It's like you allready knew)

And whom I love, I love indeed"

broken, loved the sense of fatalism and melancholy in this write. I also loved your Coleridge quote.

I really don't think I can help you with your english since I'm not that good with english. Even though I'm American.  

Keep your head up, Broken. Before you know it something will come along to help make things clear and you don't want to miss it.

I really liked your poem. The darker side of love... but just as real.... and a necessity. Thank you for sharing.  

Be kind, be true, be bold, be you.

Freedom comes when you learn to live unafraid.
