Passion Poems Why do I love you so?
You seem so distant.
All I want is to be with you.
The closer I try to get
the farther you drift away.
I try to hold on tighter
but you slip out of my grip.
I let you go even though it killed me.
I cried for weeks.
My heart was broken.
Then you came back to me
like a beacon in the night.
The light was back in my life.
Everything was right in my world.
The experience you have described is common to many, but you have put it into words that are combined, here, with uncommon beauty. That allows them to resonate in the reader's mind well after the poem has been read.
