I've always thought that words of love
would come easily,
as a picture of love comes to the brain;
a swift and effortless piece of artwork
filled with more joy than I have known.
However, now I sit without a clue as to
how I am supposed to put on paper
this feeling that I have never held close;
straying away from love has become my specialty.
I want so much to find the words of love
that have been shoved back into and lost
in the cobwebbed corners of my heart.
The mystery of love is one that I fear I can't solve on my own.
I'm not above begging to get what I want,
my pride is something expendable,
but I still don't know if this is sacrifice enough
to once again deserve the feelings that I have lost.
I need a bloodhound with a nose for love
and eyes to know when it is seen.
I need to know these feelings that have
dropped through the cracks in the plank floor of my life.
Please pry up the floorboards and find my love
For I miss it more than I thought I would.
Please give me a chance to hang on more tightly
and an undying will to never let go.
Author notes
i'd love to have any sort of family on this site. it's taken me a while to decide that i wanted more of a connection with the people here. being an 18 year old girl, i'd love to be considered for you ap girlfriend, but if i'm not quite right, i'll be happy to be a sister or any sort of long-lost relative that you can think of.
