Hopeless Love

I can be all you want me to be
As long you love me for who I am

In my world of hopelessness, there is no longer pain

I feel numb
by medication
I feel numb
by coffee
I feel numb
by setting unrealistic targets

I feel numb that my poetry is dull and my dance is soulless
What can I hope for when all evidence points at hopelessness?

My version of love is poetic. It is unconditional, giving and kind.
In my unrealistic artistic world of self expression
I am trying to find a rare love that is hard to find

A love that I can freely give, but unable to receive
A love that you can ride on, but I cannot stop running
A love like a fast drive beside the oceans

In my love, there is only transcendence
It is a journey within, like no other
If you can’t take it this far
then… my love is not for you.

My love is hopeless, meaningless and crazy.
obsessive, possessive and recessive

My love can create something beautiful
or just plainly destroy.

My love is poetic, like a painting, like a dance
it is unexplainable, unquantified, illogical and downright sick

You might never understand.
I don’t think you will ever will

. . . .
Sometimes I think if I am hopeless or insane, but I prefer to believe I am a disillusioned artist verging on the lines of insanity, trying to create great works of art before the light of my candle is snuffed out by the forces of nature.
