Love

Love, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009




Stop it
Please, stop it now
Don't ever hurt yourself again
Don't ever make me cry
A goddess like you
Should know it is true
That you should never destroy the divine
You make her bleed
And make her cry
And lock her up
Alone inside
That lonely room
Where I want to be
Whatever you need from me
You got it
Just promise me to smile
Just a little, once in a while
Stop blaming yourself
Stop insulting yourself
Stop throwing my friend to the ground
I know your dreams
Like you know mine
I know you want to be happy
With a woman by your side
Far away
From where you are now
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe in 10 years
Or maybe only 5
You will be safe
You will be loved
You will be proud
There will be a girl at your side
Is it me?
Only time will tell
But you will not be alone
You will not cry
Because I need you to smile
To brighten up my days
Lighten up a dark room
You make me laugh at my own gloom
I'm just a scared little girl
And maybe you are too
But that doesn't matter
All that matters is who you love - And who loves you
