love
i loved a man once
i would do anything for him
He used to look at me
As if i were the only girl on earth.
When I saw him
I never saw his imperfections
I only saw his smile,
His blue eyes,
Heard is laughter.
Then I learned to meet his new friends
They would laugh with a rum tainted smile
The eyes would mock with a red glow
And the fists would dance with a purple shine.
But I still loved that man
Even though his eyes had turned dark
And his fists were now tight.
His nose became outlined in that white shadow
And his fingers quivered with that black shake.
He would cry at my feet and
My heart would break
Onto the floor in a million pieces.
Gently he would bend over onto the dirty floor
And pick them up, piece by piece and give them back
But his own heart would melt into a thick
Runny stream and i would try to catch it in my hands
But it ran through my fingers.
We dont talk now. He sits against his wall
His stare has gone to another place
I try to catch that running stream
I wish I could get just one more kiss

yeah if only hey! But is it hard to love someone who doesnt love themself, they can make your life a misery when they are on their own self-destruction path. But they can also make you feel like the most important person in the world. Its a difficult thing this love feeling!
Thanks for your comment!

I think, have read, would say, that there is a difference between being in love and loving someone. The difference is kind of small, but it is the kind of small that is tremendously important.
I also think that the period of being in love with someone helps you see past the faults for long enough that you get to love the person enough so that you want to help them with their faults and be helped by them with yours.

Yes love is such a different experience to us all. Sometimes it can be something so pure and other times it can something so destructive.
I like your ideas - 99% of the time we probably start off in lust rather than in live and gradually the develops as we learn to LOVE a person for who they are and how you make each other better people. I think sometimes though one person may love the other person more and it is difficult then to love them and at the same time be your own person.
It is a very confusing emotion!
