Love Poem: Confession

Confession

Dark tombs don't scare me now,
Dark nights are sweetest too...
Darling what worth is life
If I'm not loved by you?

If death is such a sleep
As verses use to say,
Tell death I want to play
My part of it today.

I tried to love again
But failed to walk the line;
I carved my darling's name
Into this heart of mine.

Sweet lovers come and go
That I never satisfy...
I always seek for love,
Yet love just pass me by.

The one I loved didn't stay,
It never felt too fair,
But yet I always run
From girls who truly care.

Whenever that I fall
And try to walk the line;
I feel this engraved love
Into this heart of mine!
