“There is a place only love can go.” NEEDTOBREATHE – “A Place Only You Can Go”
By Kevin Alan Lamb
And if it may take you, it may consume you
Heavy hearts don’t hang but sink like cannonballs
Hope dwindles as deteriorating romantics wither
Losing love is losing yourself
Looming love is inevitable
Lasting love, rare to find
Too many traces of your imprint in my mind
Too many memories never to be made
Too few kisses that are the only way I ever wish to be paid
Is it the man in me that is not enough, or the woman in you and I’ve called your bluff?
A feverent passion is resonated from head to toe
With but a taste— I am thirsty for more
Am I weak for wanting it all?
Will my heavy heart be the reason I continue to stumble and fall?
My greatest weakness persists
Your brown eyes, I continue to miss
Unable to wish you away
To no god, but love I continue to pray
I felt you dissolving from my life
Why is it certain that darkness always follows light?
Why must I hold on hope, despite the constant torment of your memory that haunts like the numbess of dope?

this is a beautiful love poem! I’m so glad I dropped by! I really love these two stanzas
“Too many traces of your imprint in my mind
Too many memories never to be made”
Touching! Relatable!
That makes two of us! Don’t be a stranger!
The last picture greatly matches the emotions expressed in a poem… I can feel your pain, these words seem to go straight from the heart. Amazing work!
great work
I was reading this hearing a song in my head.
And as Ms. Peaches said, it is relatable.
Nice penning of pain.
Extremely well written! The emotions jump off the page. I love NeedToBreathe too, by the way, and happen to have one of their first CD’s – love, love, love it!! Blessings, Terri
