A swollen heart of infected blues weeps un-sleeping throughout the nightmare, <br />I feel unworthy of affection, as though I walk without direction, <br />Always searching for an answer to the questions that lay forever undefined. <br />All around me is chaos spinning within a churn of emotion, yet I am stationary, <br />Un-moving upon a physical plain and sinking deeper within what I once considered <br />The most delightful of emotions. Sinking into an ocean of false regret I find it harder <br />And harder each day to laugh and I say I can forgive and forget myself. For I know that <br />More so each day the world is moving on beyond my boundaries yet here I remain. <br />It seems I have planted the seed of emotion and now must practice my patience, <br />Awaiting the process to develop itself whilst I leave time upon the shelf. <br /> <br />Everything about her I adore, what more could any heart want for than for love to be <br />Returned? Inside the flames of desire burn away the constructs of my mind that I have <br />Been so happy for so long to find myself within. She fuels the emotion within which I <br />Swim unknowing of her splendor, unknowing of her grace, she alone may paint a smile <br />Upon my face, yet it is with my own inability to handle a love unspoken for which I cry. <br />For though I try to reason why I know I may never kiss her alike I may never kiss the sky. Still I know I should waste no time in sighing for there are a thousand lives to live <br />Upon this plain, yet a thousand sunsets I would gladly miss if I could take away the pain, <br />The fear, the tears that keep me drowning. I would gladly miss the sunset if she could spend just one night in my arms without regret, yet the moment never reveals itself and I <br />Remain a fool in love.<br /><br />David Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fool-in-love/
