Love will Tear us Apart

This poem was inspired by Joy Division, called Love will Tear us Apart

Ask me what’s inside my heart

Can I share all my doubts?

Show you a play of familiar parts?

Would you hold on to a mistaken vow?

Love is tearing us apart

You’re holding on in desperation,

Your suppressed tears

Leading to frustration,

In the day you are so far

Surpassing rejection,

At night you hold me so close

To reinsure my affection.

There is still this appeal

That has kept us together

A desire so real

Underneath just a vain reflection.

In the darkness I feel

My failings at heart

Love is tearing us apart

What we both want is out of reach,

Distant expectations of us together

Our desires already breached.

Emotions won’t grow

Your soul saddens with grief.

In a moment we are changing,

As we stand face-to-face one last time,

Your smiles now fading.

I say the words that accompany your tears

The suspense is falling, the sky is hailing.

We embrace our greatest fears

As Love tears us apart
