Love`s Curse

I watch others squirm
in love`s nasty grip.
They seem to fall forever,
from one little trip.

They say its worth the pain,
to have pleasure in your heart.
But i don't see why,
when that's only the start.

It consumes their minds,
straight to the very core.
I can no longer grasp,
whats left of them anymore.

I want to save them,
from this eternal curse.
But they cant break away,
it only gets worse.

I hold in my hands,
the shattered remains.
Of crushing memories,
and faded red blood stains.

I feel I've done wrong,
to break his sweet heart.
But it was killing me,
slowly ripping me apart.

He still loved me,
I wanted to be free.
But its my fault,
that hes unhappy.

My selfish ways,
will haunt me now.
As i watch the others,
slowly drown.

The love they enjoy,
is not right for me.
I ruined his heart,
so that i could be free.

But I'm never free,
from this feeling deep down.
Because the guilt eats me slowly,
and drags me underground.

I wish i could grasp,
the last breath of air.
As i watch them scream,
the waves in their hair.

They wash up later,
coughing and scarred.
I tell them to run.
but they say we've gone too far.

They cant live without it,
once they've tasted the drug.
The addiction spreads,
till they cant get enough.

I want to save them,
from what i don't comprehend.
I haven't been snagged,
and brought to my end.

I shall build up a wall,
so i wont fall pray.
To the sad fate of others,
that have been cast away.

But cracks in the wall,
will always remain.
And as guilt freezes over,
I brace for the pain.
