Array ( [sid] => 117721 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Love is Wasted [time] => 2006-04-04 21:54:48 [hometext] => I wrote this poem about one of my sister's relationships. [bodytext] => Do you know I'm blind
To what you do to me?
You're perfect in every aspect,
I love the way you are.

My friends tell me
To get rid of you
But I could never do that;
Without you there would be no me.

You lie to me all the time
But I know you never mean it
I would give you all the chances in the world
To stay with you.

I'm told that I've already given you
All the chances you need
But why doesn't anyone see
Everything I see in you?

You've always been right there
Even when I was angry and distraught
I know you are the cause of those feelings
But I can't admit it to anyone.

Maybe I like those emotions
Since you are the one who makes me feel them
Deep inside my heart
I know you're bad for me.

Of all the years I've spent with you
The bad ones are hiding deep under my skin
Only the good years rise to the surface
Why is it just you and I that can see them?

They say you are ruining my life
But how can it be called a life
If I can't live it without you
And you say you can't live without me?

You can live it with other girls
I've seen that for myself
I choose to ignore it, though
Because that truth would tear me to pieces.

So I guess I'll go on giving you
All the chances it takes
For people to see you as I do
Even if it takes the rest of my life. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 48 [informant] => kerrbear [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
Love is Wasted

Do you know I'm blind
To what you do to me?
You're perfect in every aspect,
I love the way you are.

My friends tell me
To get rid of you
But I could never do that;
Without you there would be no me.

You lie to me all the time
But I know you never mean it
I would give you all the chances in the world
To stay with you.

I'm told that I've already given you
All the chances you need
But why doesn't anyone see
Everything I see in you?

You've always been right there
Even when I was angry and distraught
I know you are the cause of those feelings
But I can't admit it to anyone.

Maybe I like those emotions
Since you are the one who makes me feel them
Deep inside my heart
I know you're bad for me.

Of all the years I've spent with you
The bad ones are hiding deep under my skin
Only the good years rise to the surface
Why is it just you and I that can see them?

And you say you can't live without me?

So I guess I'll go on giving you
All the chances it takes
For people to see you as I do
Even if it takes the rest of my life.
