the pain keeps growing
and I wonder if I can make it through
the emptiness that swells inside
my heart darkens in the hell
you keep putting me through
with your going away
and coming back again
for long periods of time
we do not speak
then suddenly there you are
you are the angel in my dreams
yet seeming to belong to death
with your charm and seductiveness
I love you
that much is for certain
but I am not sure I can do this again
not like before
my darling
this must be good-bye
I love you too much for this to continue
it breaks my heart to do this
but the unbearable agony of this back and forth
hurts worse
please
stay away
if you love me
don't call

This a really nice write, and the emotions feel varied and real. It hurts when the person you love most hurts you that way...
This bit with the metaphors in it is lovely,
"you are the angel in my dreams
yet seeming to belong to death
with your charm and seductiveness"
Good take on the prompt.
Thank you for your entry and all the best to you!
♥ Char
