Love is complex

Love is complex

But oh, so, obvious

And when it’s all going right

Is when you both feel godliest

And you dance around each other

Planets around the sun

 

So, committed to making it work

But when things go south,

He’s just such a jerk!

And she’s just such a bitch

Self-absorbed, and short tempered

Breathe and she’ll burn you

Third degree with the fire in her eye.

 

And you’re walking out just to slam the door

To say I’m done

when you brush against her arm

And it’s like water on fire

You can hear the hiss

The chemical reaction brings up tears to the surface of her eyes

You turn around and tell her you love her.

She breaks down, cries.

 

And like that it’s over and you sit down

Once more point out your flaws and you both say

I’m sorry

‘it’s my fault’ ‘No, it’s my fault’

The magma spills through the fissure in the plates

It cools and creates basalt.

The foundations we will build our life on.

 

And when we just sit,

Not talking.

Not touching,

And miles away

And I imagine our house with the beautiful stone

Pillars.

The pillars with carving that you would have done

With love and precision.

Those pillars that will hold up our hearts

When they drop at the sound of bad news.

 

Love is complex

But oh, so obviously here

And when you hold me

Everything beautiful I want to tell you

Gets stuck in my throat.

I wrote this to tell you how

You are everything that is beautiful.

  1. I like the way you wove this together.

    Love this:
    “And you dance around each other

    Planets around the sun”

  2. That ending got me in the feels!
    Great piece of writing.

    “And it’s like water on fire” – Love that feeling.

    • Thanks a bunch! This piece is very personalized with real elements. I was aiming to capture nature in love and the ups and downs. I’m really glad you like it!

    I like the very bottom ” for Miley” it’s always great to be able to have a poem written to speak to someone special in your life. I also liked

    ‘it’s my fault’ ‘No, it’s my fault’

    The magma spills through the fissure in the plates

    It cools and creates basalt.

    The foundations we will build our life on.

    That has to be the foundation that love gets built on! All other foundations will be like sand. Nice work!
