I Am


You cannot save me.

 

I reside in the shadow of emotion

A love I feel

          but cannot have

A curse that will not die,

          youthful as day.

I am love…

 

I am the shadow of love.

 

I am.

A love unknown

All a bit strange really. Always wanted love, but never really seemed like it had any interest in me. Life and everything else I guess.

deep blue

and brooding, but I must ask what love is? For if that's not defined then how can one be its shadow, or even in the shadow of it? Mark W.

Definitions

True. There is no definition for it, but like you asked, what is love? I personally know what it is for me, it will never be the same for any two people. Your definition and mine will never be the same. Best I can do is explain how I see myself in the face of love. Hope that helps and makes sense.
