Living For Love Poem by Concetta Salter

Take me from this world I know.
Release me somewhere else.
Take away this heart, that’s cold.
I’m asking you for help.

I Don’t know who you really are.
I just know you exist.
I Don’t know if your near or far.
I just know you hold bliss.

Bliss is something rarely felt.
At least it’s not by me.
All my hopes have finally fell.
And nightmare’s conquer dreams.

Nothing is a secret now.
My pain can’t hide, it’s clear.
My eye’s resemble darkening clouds,
No rain though, only tears.

Patience, I have had enough.
I’ve waited many years.
Waited for a man to love.
A man to say he cares.

Like I said, he does exist.
I know that in my heart.
Sometimes I can feel his kiss.
And yeah, that seems bizarre.

Love to me, is not a word.
No, love to me is life.
And even though it seems absurd,
Without love I will die.
