Love
A poem
it’s not that i don’t love you anymore
it’s just that it’s not the same love anymore
you being the moon
the sky and the stars
you being the life
the spring and the fall
the whole world in your eyes
without you everything dies
two bodies and one soul
you being the purpose and the goal
love proved to be a little more than that
had never thought love would be like that
the innocence and the purity that you ask
the bright white light that you saw
it was just what we dreamt
it was not what was meant
it would have been easy
if it was like that
but it wasn’t like that
we just wished it was like that
with all the beauty it had brought
there was ugliness we had bought
lies were told doubts were born
walls were raised trust was torn
i saw you faltering you saw me fall
we saw we were so different after all
love proved to be beyond pain
love proved to be beyond hate
i still carry the scars for you
and still my heart beats for you
no don’t ask for that love anymore
it’s not that i don’t love you anymore
it’s just that it’s not the same love anymore
