why do i still love?
poem/ rap pt 38
how many days do i, need to pray, for you to come my way, i’m here, all alone for you, are my home, i cant be here alone, i need you on the phone, one call, need your voice thats all, i close my eyes and hear, i know that you are near, so please come closer dear, because i need you here, in my room with fear, is my vision clear? i cant really see, is she coming back to me? did i love her properly? does my loss come with fees? i cant tell i cant see, its her that i need, don’t think she hears my screams, for that i keep sinking deep, look down, its really steep, no noise, not a peep, so lost, wasn’t ready for this cost, but my love is not a loss, just cannot afford the cost, we had equal love, why do i still love? yours is gone and we did nothing wrong, why cant we get along? you always brushed your hair, always thought we would be a pair, now I’m scared, don’t know where, maybe there? scratch that, there ain’t no where, i’m stuck, still try to do my fares, got nothing left to bare, i throw my hands in the air, pretend like i don’t care, but really i still do, you’re still not coming through.
Love is a complex emotion, often weaving joy with sorrow. In moments of longing, we may wonder: why do we still love even when faced with loss? The struggles depicted in poetry resonate with many, expressing feelings that are both personal and universal. Such reflections can serve as a cathartic release, helping individuals process their emotions and recognize the value of their experiences. The act of writing, particularly in poetic form, allows one to articulate feelings that might feel overwhelming in silence. Each line can unlock deeper meanings, illustrating how love remains a powerful force, sometimes overshadowed by pain but equally vital to our growth. In our journey through love, understanding its complexities becomes essential. Relationships can often leave us questioning our worth, pondering over 'what went wrong?' or 'did I love enough?' Poetry provides a mirror reflecting our struggles and triumphs. By engaging with these reflections in poetry, we embrace our vulnerabilities, allowing us to heal and grow. Ultimately, whether through personal loss or the celebration of memories, the essence of love often compels us to keep moving forward, seeking clarity through art and self-expression.
