Love Poem: Vivid Dreams

Vivid Dreams

Dreams are vivid, lust is cold, 
As my love, my tainted love, it will swiftly grow old
Broken promises and canned white lies, 
As my humble laughter blends with my sighs
Metallic and hollow, this is my heart, 
Listen carefully as my heartbeat darts
Up, as the chill slowly seeps, as ironic as it appears,
For infinite rags wouldn’t dry all my tears, 
And despair plagues both of our hearts
How I knew it wouldn’t last, right from the start,
You don’t realize her love will be tart
Despite it’s intense amount
Her flesh is tender, her love is immense, 
Your intelligence flickers, your true feelings dense
She misses her love; you do just as well, 
Though because our love is tarnished, our hearts will swell
She understands, as the hidden emotion thaws, 
But doesn’t want to, this being one of my fatal flaws
