Tortured Love

Lynette Garcia 1990 (Dover, NJ)

Free verse
I’m trying to sleep,
But in my dreams
It’s always you and me
Why do you torture me?

This feeling inside me,
I can’t take away,
It keeps growing everyday.
Why do you torture me?

Your hands running down my body,
Fire consuming right down inside me.
This passion is undenying.
Why do you torture me?

Your lips are as fire burning on my lips,
Yet it’s so satisfying as icecream melting down my throat.
Why do you torture me?

About this poem

I actually wrote this poem when i was 16 years old back in 2006. As a young teen curious about falling in love decided to express my own point of view of how that felt to being away from that love.
