The Side effects of Love

Megan16's picture

You my dear are an imagination,
But a mere illusion of the mind’s eye
My rare new intangible fixation
My dear you arouse me, so I deny
I know not of how you came to be here
But you and your sensation must leave now
I’m sorry but it must be done so dear
You dear know not of what I will allow
To rid me of this malevolence, so
I’ll not continue to be a burden,
To this world my dear, I now say adieu
My dear you mean the world to me, within
You are but an untamed dream, and you have
Swept me away, but I am not your slave.

This is a really powerful
