Love #1

Emotion took hostage
Of my brain
Mutiny, treachery
Honesty

Whatever it is I am feeling
This can't be love
For if it is
I never experienced love before

What have I been feeling
Those other times?
Was it lust
Mistaken for love?

Or is this time
Where I make the mistake
Confusing desperation
With love?

I doubt it
Could desperation
Ever feel
This good?

It seems so odd
A suicidal in love
One feeling to live for
With many others to die over

Insecurity, self-hatred
Shyness, ugliness
They threaten the hope
Of ever finding love

(1999)
