Would You Leave Me, Love? Poem by Helena Way

Would You Leave Me, Love?

Rating: 4.9


Gaze into my tear stained eyes and tell me nothing is wrong
We drift apart like broken shadows, wondering all alone
When we both thought our love was strong
We say not a word, a whisper it may
I don’t recall, the sound of your monotonous tone

So I ask you now
And bid you reply
Did our love just die?
I feel your soul
The beat of your heart
It floats within my sky

But to say we love so dearly
Is madness in itself
I will not say I’ll leave you
For I need you oh so dearly
Though I feel us going no where
I feel us getting old
We are two doves that will not fly
Forever in Hells abode

So would you leave me, love?
Leave me on my own?
I’ll never find true love, it seems
Maybe that is not my road?

So we must end here
I bade you goodbye
Indeed, I feel our love just died
I lost your soul, your rhythmic pounding
No longer floating in my sky

So tell me why I feel this way
Why do I feel so calm?
Maybe I am numb
Maybe I died?
My love left me all alone
I urge the need to feel
For the world is spinning in front of my eyes
I feel the blood on my wrist
I feel the blood from his heart
It quickly becomes darker
Until my love and I join the abyss

That's so amazing. I can't believe just how perfect that poem is. I know that feeling all too well, and I don't care what anyone says, it's the worst thing in the world. When you believe it's true love and it just fades away, you feel like you will never love again. I feel like I will never love again, 'cause it happened to me. I hate it.
