LOVE IS A ROLLER COASTER
by Paul Curtis Being in love with you Was like a roller coaster ride Exhilarating and stomach churning But not in a good way Not in that happy waving your arms in the air Screaming with delight kind of way No not your roller coaster Oh there was exhilaration You took me to dizzy heights When you really took my breath away When I thought life didn't get any better than that Like walking through fields of flowers in the sunshine Or hand in hand along an empty beach Declarations of love and promises for the future Making me feel I was the most special person in the world Then without warning came the stomach churning That headlong rush into darkness Cast down into a trough of despair and bitterness Jealousy and accusations Venomous verbal tirades and volleys of flying fists Churning my stomach and breaking my bones Being in love with you Was like the roller coaster ride from hell So I got off and walked away And I will never ride with you again Your declarations of love and promises for the future Are just empty words Drowned out by your venomous tirades Thinking of you may still churn my stomach But you will break my bones no more I got off your roller coaster broken and battered But with my spirit in tact I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
