! ! ! -My Love Has Loved You Best~! ! !

Rating: 3.0


I knew what you did to me,
But I didn't know why;
So I labelled It Love,
And I let It lie...

Deep within my soul,
Safely stored until now.
But without me knowing,
grew stronger than my vow.

A prisoner outlasting jail,
A slave turned master;
A Thing I can't restrain;
Towards you, moving faster.

As if It smells the blood of Its own kind,
and longing for Its mother there to rest.
It can't see, hear, taste or touch,
But I know my Love has loved you best.

This is one of the better rhythm and rhyme pieces I have read in my reviews here. There is so little to speak of negatively, that I simply choose not to do so. That is because the readers will not notice the difference. A worthy 9. GW62
