If Death is Going to Steal    
 
I do not want to love you
any more.
I do not want to see you.
I do not want to feel you.
I do not want you to feel me.
I do not want to care for you more
and more.
I do not want to share with you any
more.
I do not want to stay attached to the you I
adore.
I do not want to stay one with you.
I do not want to quiver at your touch.
I do not want to gasp when you bleed.
I do not want to feel sick when you get sick.
I do not want to lie awake when you can't sleep.
I do not want to feel faint when you get a shock.
I do not want to carry this torch
any more.
I do not want to hate you for loving you so.
I do not want to get afraid for you
any more.
I do not want to tingle at the tickle of your breath.
I do not want to grin  at your gait and thrill
to the length and breadth of your  hands
and hips, and delight in your shower-caused
cowlick, and marvel at the slant of your brows
and the curl of your lashes,  and your wit.  
I do not want to want you in me.
I do not want you out.  I do not want you out.
Promise death will not take you.  Then I will
not want not to love you
any more.

Nice work on this emotional tie and separation to death...it is a sad reality and yet a joy to know we have the love to reach out whether staying or going within life and the next...

nice,,,,

If I promise you eternity, a voyage without end farther away from our Universe's lights, throwing ourselves in that pitch black darkness with the promise perhaps of other Universe,or not...will you consider loving him?

Achingly beautiful humanity in these lines overflowing pain, joy, hope, sorrow, grief, rage, longing, and yes: adoration.

((((((Pea))))))

I'm sitting here, with tears running down my face ... to not have loved is to never have been loved at all. This one slices into the heart, causing a great pain - because we all feel like this.

I know. And when the one you love dies, there you are, chest cut open, broken heart on full display -

Your best, my friend. Is there anything you need? Let me know -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :( *tears!!!!*
