Life without love is hard to live
Love, I don't know where we first met I just found you camping in my heart You possessed my life and soul, love You always impose and dictate You deny me to act on my own Love, please leave me alone Let me be a free man Let my heart live for me Let me be myself once again Let me be the man I used to be Love, I can't live with you Though without you,I can't live

Abdi, I'm sooo sorry! I accidentally clicked on the "Pst/Review" button, and it had left a blank review. I'm so glad I have two ID's in here so that I can still comment on you after I've missed one.

You have described "love" so well. Wonderful poem indeed!

Oh how I can relate to this darling little gem of a poem.
Yes,love can 'impose' and 'dictate' it can be the intruder 'camping in a heart' making one lose sight of the peace one once had.
How true your last two lines are,you write it all so well and exactly how it really is.
This is a fabulous poem.
Best wishes
