Love Poem: Shadows

Shadows

If love were my teardrops, 
 an ocean~they would fill. 
 If love were my memories, 
 the earth would stand still. 

 Have you heard a heart breaking 
 and the awesome sounds of despair? 
 ~To reach out for something familiar 
 and know that it won't be there? 

 If love could taste all the pain 
 that you have experienced before, 
 would you search for it again 
 and repeatedly ask for more? 

 Chasing those past shadows~ 
 knowing the sadness that will hurl~ 
 I wouldn't have chosen the pain, 
 but I wouldn't have missed it 
 for the world!!
