How can this be wrong?
such a beautiful thing
how can love be damned?
to cut deep and sting

Something so good
at the same time so painful
I long for the feeling
even though I am shameful

I should have learned
from experience past
that something so perfect
could never last

I just yearn for someone
to take me away
steal my life in my sleep
please take me, I pray

This torture and longing
intensity never drops
my heart is still beating
please let it stop

I should have known
yet still I do try
my love freely shown
yet more of me dies

When will I learn
to close myself off?
protect my pure heart
from feelings aloft?

Barrel at my chin
then the truth to arise
it's just wishful thinking
from this there's no prize

I would never do it
it's not what was meant
but boy it feels good
one squeeze and I'm sent

So yet I live on
wondering what pain comes next
are good things still coming?
I'm trying my best.

September 30, 1659. I, poor, miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, during a dreadful storm in the offing, came ashore on this dismal unfortunate island, which I called "the Island of Despair," all the rest of the ship's company being drowned, and myself almost dead.

Your words, they struck a chord with me as well, in this present state of mind I'm in.
Well done, and I think yes, the wrong love is damning........

Is love really damned? Well, I think we may never know the answer to that question. The question I have is,"Are we all damned to love?" Good poem, Thunder.

Isis... Thank you much... I think the same, I hope your mood passes soon

S.D.... Know the feeling

Some love is, anyways

lol

Michael... You are right, we may never know. I think sometime in our lives, yes, we will all be "damned" to love. Thank you, Michael, for your input.
