Love, what is your purpose in me

Love, what is your purpose in me
Love, what is your grip on my fantasy
Love, what designs do you draw on my face
Love, why did you put me in this place

I see her every time I close my eyes
I think about her every time I look at her letter
I breathed her in every time we kissed
I stared into her eyes when we sat together

Sight, why did you fail me once
Sight, why did you make me dunce
Sight, in your explicit eye
Sight, why did you make her die

I see her every time I cross the street
I think about her in the cafe
I breathe her in every time I cook
I wonder why it ended this way

Distance, why did you take me away
Distance, why couldn't I ever stay
Distance, when she called me there
Distance, why couldn't I be everywhere

I saw her dangling my gift from her
I think about the way she gave it to me
I lost a breath that very moment
I knew then how in love I would be

Oblivion, why did you engulf my mind
Oblivion, why did you catch me from behind
Oblivion, why did you show me fate
Oblivion, you taught me to see hate

I see her in the picture we took back then
I think about her when I touch her face
I breathe her in with the chill air
I lost my heart in this dark place

Memory, why do you make me suffer
Memory, why don't you give me a buffer
Memory, do I really want to forget it all
Memory, or will you catch her next time she falls

    wow

    What can i say? this is a very well written poem... the imagery here was powerful! Very strong words! and i love the way you repeated the same word in certain stanzas... it was perfectly fine! very well done indeed!

    I'm so sorry for such an unfortunate event to occur... but keep the faith alive and stay strong! Ps. You have exceeded my word limit! Thanks for entering this contest! best wishes!

    Much love alwyas,
