(Poem) Hopeles Romantic

Love is hard------------You strike once more---------I hate you hurt
It hurts like hell,--------I heard a crack,--------------I hate your past,
I tried to stand---------Just one moment-------------I promise you
But then I fell.---------Then I'll be back.-------------The pain won't last.

I get back up-------------I can't lose you---------I'll help you heal
To take a stand,----------I just can't think,-------And get you through,
You strike my heart------You push the limit--------By saying this
And I'm down again.------I'm at the brink.---------"I love you..."

I love, I lust--------------I love you
I disagree,----------------I'll recieve,
You always lie------------I need you
You don't need me.------To relieve.

I give you freedom-------To be without you
You then abuse,---------Would be hell,
I can see-----------------I'd break down
How you're amused.-----And even yell

I can't strike back--------I made a promise
I can't lash out,-----------No suicide,
I'm a Romantic----------But please don't leave
There is no doubt.-------I'd be blind.

You strike again---------To walk this world
Before I'm up,-----------Without you,
You seem to think-------I'd have no one
I'm just that tough.------To see me through.

I have a weakness-------You are my world
It's despair,-------------You're what I need,
You can lash------------You're everything
I won't care.------------For you I'd bleed.

I'll take it all------------I'll always love you
To see you smile,-------For all time,
Just need a break-------I'll protect what's yours
Once in a while.---------As if it's mine.

I won't leave you-------No matter what happens
My heart is bound,-----Or what you say,
I can only hope---------I'll stick by your side
You'll come around.-----And keep it that way.
