Can't Stop Loving You

By Obi's Girl

A/N: There are very few times I write beautiful poetry. I consider myself more of a prose writer than anything else. Poetry is secondary, but I was just itching to write this poem as I was working on a fan art of the same name. So, there's where the poem came from.

I look at you,

enchanted by your beauty

but you look away

I wish I could stop thinking

about you, wanting you --

but you all can think of is him

I've lost you to him;

I know I have,

lost you even before I knew,

or even realized

these feelings inside me

It was too late,

when you came to me

and told me of your fears,

your fears of him.

I held you as you cried,

wishing I could hold you forever;

then you looked at me,

as if sensing my thoughts

you kissed me with your sweet lips

I've dreamt of this night,

holding you close to me

as you slept ever so peacefully

I smiled, kissed your forehead,

staring at your angelic face

You were scared, trembling;

if he ever found out the love

that was meant for him,

suddenly became mine….

My love had the power

To destroy you,

Destroy us

He's gone now

and there's nothing more

I can do to soothe

your damaged heart

 

Now, when you look at me

all I can do is look away;

'fore I blame myself

for the pain I've caused you,

a pain I wish I could kiss away
