About “love” and how in the moment it can feel like a passionate sickness.

My foolish heart,
to fall crazy in love,
way to smart.
Or so I thought,
not wanting to love you,
strongly I fought.
Now it is to late–
my heart is forever yours,
each night for you I wait.
My behavior turns childish,
for your attention I act selfish,
my words become foolish
to hear you say just a few simple words,
I wish……
I struggle with the one thing I have no control over,
praying for an answer,
tears spill over as I become weaker.
What more must I do, what more must I say,
On your doorway,
I lay…..
On your footsteps,
I play…..
In your hands,
I am clay……
All I ask is for a moment,
a little of your time,
just a fragment.
An honest emotional word or two,
with me you have become so silent.
My heart breaks at the thought that I am unpleasant,
when looked at by you do you only see me as absent?
What shall I do?
unexpectedly my feelings grew.
Now I am a mess,
crying over you.
I feel to you I am no more than a burden,
with little value.
I receive no feelings in return,
so I ask is this true?
Or am I suffering from nothing more than—-
my love for you?

    I have felt this way so many times…i know this from experience, sometimes the heart is foolish, but we just have to be careful, thankyou for sharing

    To be in love or infatuation is to give yourself permission to have feelings which is a good thing. If you do not feel things you are not living.

    I really like this Jessica. It is filled with all the emotions one feels when in love. This is excellent!!!
