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
