Hopeless Love Poem

 

 

Hopeless Love
 

The first time I saw you I fell madly in love, you made my spirit soar like a lovesick dove.

You were a part of the void I had to fill, while I was with you the time stood still.

In the beginning we were the perfect match, in my heart I knew you were quite the catch.

In an instant our love would change, in a blink of time I was in your strike range.

When you saw me talk to another guy, you always gave me the evil eye.

I loved you and yet hated you, every day your anger grew.

I kept trying to convince my friends that I fell down the stairs, but they knew about your anger flares.

It was hard to hide the tears and bruises, yet every day I was the one who always loses.

Today would be the day that I stood up to you, yet there was little I could do.

One day I called the cops and got a restraining order, now you had to stay outside of my protected border.

The restraining order couldn't keep you away, my world started looking awfully grey.

My parents and I were moving out, yet you followed the route like a boy scout.

There was no where I could go that I wouldn't get followed, so I left home and let the shallow water swallow my sorrow.
