Love's Deceit by Big Rube (my fave poem) from the movie ATL

pleasure turns to pain
lessons learned from the strain
questions burned in my brain..about whether love is humane in its touch.
these thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream in the tears of your deceit.
fighting the current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos of our intertwined emotions.
chaotic because the anchor of Erros' arrow has been plucked from the vessel of my undying infatuation
separation not as simple as the distance between us
my mind no longer possessed by demons that have been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies
the seeds of these lies rooted so deeply they have cracked the foundation of what we once shared
allowing the faith in us I had sealed inside to gush out like a river ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts
as violently and as brutally as if it were a child being taken from its mothers arms
I'm left surrounded in darkness but I refuse to be swallowed by it
my loneliness like the night air
invisible to the eye obvious to the touch
it is cold uncomfortableness
yet if i could do it all over again I'd do it in the same skin I'm in
to lay down and let love die
just stay down and let love lie?no, no..not I
I'd stay around and let love fly
even though I have seen its darkest form deceit
nothing else could taste this warm or feel this sweet...
