I LOVE YOU

I love you I am flawed my love is But I love you and for the love of you I try to be a better me I fall short Your love covers my faults.   DVerse:  Part IV has us writing a poem with 140 characters all less, just enough for a tweet.  

JOURNEY

This journey from myself to you is the hardest thing. A slave is his master’s as I am my will’s. What can I give when I am not free to give myself fully. I need to die leave my self behind to live love. ~~~ I am glad dVerse is back after a brief hiatus.

LOVE SCAMMED

Stop breaking, my broken heart for that love that never was stop crying, my teary eyes for the dream that all but passed His love was only an illusion marketed to the vulnerable with words, saccharine sweet masking the greed animating his bones.
