Love Poem: Poisonous Mind

Poisonous Mind

I stand here
and I ask why
why does my heart hurt
why does my mind doubt
why can't I trust
know that his love is constant
why do these thoughts pound
constantly beating my skull
driving me insane
I love him
isn't that enough
why must I have his proof
why can't I trust his words
I just want him with me
telling me he loves me
why does my mind haunt me
slowly killing me
I can't take this
it hurts so much
deep down squeezing
making me wish to scream
cry out and release it
why won't it let me be
what is wrong with me
why am I like this
slowly killing myself
all these thoughts poisoning me
will I ever escape this pain
