SHOOK

Day lifts, night falls

At a distance, water falls

Life goes on, bitter still

Nothing left within to fill

The void, the hole, the unsweet end

The happiness you brought, my friend

I move but still I’m never moved

I ache with pain your love once soothed

Though I shook when you were near

I had no chill it wasn’t fear

At intense moments that we shared

I shook because I really cared

I guess I knew it wouldn’t be

You couldn’t love, at least not me

Little more than thief or crook

You stole my heart but never shook

Love can rattle you, leave you breathless, thoughtless and most definitely stupid... making you do things you would never do and say things you would never say... It has the power to make you completely idiotic... That is the fun it... But if its not returned it also has the power to break you... and leave you shattered.
