    A Dangerous Love

    Love is a question best left unanswered.
    A sickness, no cure.  Much like a cancer.

    You give and you give. 
    You don't ever take.
    You're a mouse crawling into
    The mouth of a snake.

    As the sun slowly sinks
    To the last rays of light
    You're surrounded and swallowed
    By the blackness of night.

    You struggle to swim.
    Flailing and splashing.
    You're gasping for air.
    The waves keep on crashing.

    You wait for the storm
    To finally blow by.
    The rain is torrential,
    Taking over the sky.

    The craziest part,
    The wildest of all
    In the midst of the torture
    Still you stand tall.

    You get up and run
    Back at it again.
    Hoping and praying
    That this time you'll win.

    You need it, you crave it
    Depsite all the pain.
    So you grab your umbrella.
    You dance in the rain.

    Love is insane.
    It will rip you apart.
    I try, but it just won't
    Let go of my heart.

    I was touched by this heartfelt piece, so much, that I thought I would call it my own.

    Wow... Great stuff. Spoken from the heart. I loved comparison to drowning and the dancing in the rain. Keep up the Great Work!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
