Questions, bounce back and forth
and I'm left with the numbness of hurt,
like all those many times before.
The clash of circumstances,
the difference of life's decisions
made us so very different -
and yet, our hardships brought us,
closer together.
The moment of true madness,
is when our heart's locked together.
I said I loved you first and yet shared,
the sensations deeper and I nearly falter
in fear of unknowing dangers [to my heart].
But do the melodies of last Monday's
and troublesome Tuesday's stay the same,
throughout our relationship;
[sometimes I forget we are a couple today
though your 'baby' reminds me of yesterday].
Can you even acknowledge my agro,
in the moment of madness, love hinders us
leaving us almost blind and paralyzed,
maybe you placed me here on purpose -
but who needed to try.
I love you and I guess I always will,
some things fade over time -
like bitter arguments and broken tides
though the yearning in my heart never dies,
when your name blocks my inner thoughts
and captures all my senses, I am controlled -
by your lover's complexion and I come to adore
the simple way you utter my name in heaven.
For whenever heaven opens it's gates,
I am sure I will find what I've been looking for -
the answer to love's questions.






Wonderful, beautiful write, and good luck in the contest!
