Love Poem: Forbidden Lines

Forbidden Lines

I never crossed forbidden lines
To find it all for naught.
I never strove and pressed so hard
And given all I've got.
I look so hard to find in you 
The only thing I see.
You fell so hard, it hurt us all.
But I think you landed on me.

I'll tell you this: I feel so hurt
To find you do not care.
The tears that fall have no one now
To catch them in mid-air.
And maybe I will finally see...
Heaven's sweet soft Melody.
But summer came, you were intent
On disassembling me.

If you don't care about this heart, 
Then crush it all the more.
Then tell me that you won't come back.
Then send me out the door.
Then tell me that the serpent's won.
Then tell me that you quit.
And when we all go up to bat,
Let's see just how you hit.

Let's see exactly how you swing 
When no one's standing there.
Let's see exactly how YOU feel
When we don't seem to care.
Do not ever quit a race
The moment you don't lead.
In wars among the fleshly ones
The moment that you bleed!

He's more content to have you leave
Than abruptly end your life.
It's not too late 'till 'Geddon comes
To spare me all this strife.
My love for you is more than love
It's deeper than the sea.
And my paradisaic hope
Is for you to come back to me.

Bring the lightning!
Bring the rain!
Bring the thunder
And the train!
Hit me all at once
Right here!
Smite me quickly!
I don't care.
