Lead Me Astray
Love is enticing
Icing on cake
I'll go where it takes me
I hope I don't break
I've made journeys to hearts
Universes apart
I've seen, but I've felt much more
So many people and things I adore
My feet wear down
And still I travel
Traversing gravel roads
And mountaintops covered in clouds
And in poems I wrote
Have I found "Cloud 9"?
Many times, I've written that specific poem
"My heart gushes"
"I love him" "I love her"
Filled to the brim with cliches
Not enough days and not enough ways
To describe this feeling
Because each time is unique
In making my heart feel weak
Love is a weakness
It's your sweetness, your hope
Connecting you to someone or something
With emotional rope,
Invulnerable to logic and reality
Love is "Hey, don't get mad at me
For loving you the way I do"
Love is shattered plates thrown with hate
When words don't carry enough weight
Love is a peaceful sunset
After you became so upset
the last time you saw that person
You screamed that you wished that they'd die
Love is sitting by the beach with the person you've been with
For a few years
You have no fears
You've shed some tears, but...
You are content
You know they are too
And love is the exact moment when you turn to look into their eyes
And you know they knew
What you were thinking
And a soft smile spreads along both your lips
And you kiss
Love is a lot of things
I've traveled to hearts
And each time have had to depart
Because sometimes love feels right
And sometimes it doesn't
It takes two to sift through such complicated emotions
People that love you might hurt you
It's awful
They might apologize
Hopefully
But when is enough, enough?
Sometimes people may not feel right loving you back
Find someone that loves you for who you are, imperfections and all
Don't fall for ugly souls
Each person has a role to play in your journey
And you have to leave some of your favorite destinations sometimes
Look forward to seeing new places, new ideas
It's okay to let go
It's okay to be led astray
Travel to your heart's content
You'll find the onset of these feelings again someday
