Shattered Inside

I am a man,
My eyes filled with hope
My heart overflowing with passion
My body trembling with the ecstasy
Called 'love'
The love that will drive me to madness
The love that will devour my soul
The love that will abduct my heart
And take it to a place where it cannot be reached
Not by reason, not by logic, not by sanity

I am a sailor lost in an endless ocean of poison
Poisoning every soul who dares sail those cursed waters
An ocean unidentified by wisdom
Only recognized by those infected by it
A dangerous phenomenon, called 'love'
I'm dying at sea, perishing slowly
Unless I can find safety on an island
That island is 'you'

I am a nomad in an endless dune sea
A desert of drought, forcing me to starve
It closes its grip around my throat
Sucking away the little my life has to offer
The only way to rescue me is to find an oasis
An oasis of hope, a spot of light in a pitch black pit
The oasis is only a mere reflection of your purity
My hope diminishes even more when I realize it's just a Fata Morgana
Just a mirage, seducing and deceiving my soul, breaking my heart

I am a warrior, captured and imprisoned
Behind cold steel bars, the reality that makes me see
Your love is not reserved for me
I'm getting lonelier by the minute, being cast away
Cast away from the world, left behind by my reflection
My muscles hurt, and I'm still suffering
Suffering from your choice, your choice of not to love me
For you are my drug, the only thing that can calm me
Among my dark thoughts in my jail cell, there is one bright illumination
My love for you, calling out to you
But now I realize, I am shallow, and I will always be
As long as I think of you
As long as I love you
As long as I live

Now you understand, my love for you has made me miserable
It has turned me into a creature shun by the world
It has turned me into a pile of distorted emotions
Friendship, laughter, sadness
I can experience none any more
Except love
Love for you
Locked away for too long
Deep in my heart
Then, brutally unleashed
By you
I cannot live a normal life
I will not live a normal life
I shall never accept your rejection

Now I know, I finally see
The cause of my misery
The emotion feared most by me
The greatest torture of them all
Unanswered love

 

As i said before my friend, you are a genius at this, i guess were really inspirated for this.

But its beautiful x3

Like I said before I like the way you use metaphors and symbolism 8D
