Love Poem: Untitled Expressions

Untitled Expressions

Rhythmic contractions
controlling the irregular heart

As the gift God proceeded to give
kneel and wait

My heart is compassionate
but love is a burden

He is satisfaction to the soul
and sensitive to the touch

Unfortunately,

Insatiable love is controlled inside
where unfaithful beats arise
And intoxicated blood flow

He is competent in my eyes
but I am blinded by evil

Unable to trust the good
this is a knotty situation

As he asks the question once

My mind jumps around in confusion
defending its territory

My confidence is high
my courage becomes cowardly

Anticipating a lifetime guarantee
of an unforgivable past
and a promising future

The fantasy is true
still a burden to the soul

Reality hits,

I awake laying alone
Realizing fear has taken control
