Conditional Love

• Artist: Deathcake J
• Description: This is a poem I wrote in 1997-ish. It has been published in 3 collections and won two awards. It's been on display in my dA gallery since 2004. It's reflective of my teen-angst era, but I still feel a lot of pride about this one. My inspiration for it came from watching my dog sleeping. >^.^<

Innocent, so sweet
Your eyes tell your story
A long, hard road out of hell
You're happy, yet scared
Afraid of losing what you have
Love, happiness, you take
Nothing for granted
And live each day to its most
So softly your eyes reflect
The light burning in your heart
You, I envy and love
You, so perfectly innocent
Me, so completely tainted
Without your innocence
You would understand
And love me no more
So carefree, yet not
You value everything
Yet are able to smile
Sleeping lightly
So fragile
So gentle
I would give my life
To touch your face
But I would have
To kill myself were
I to ruin your
Porcelain beauty
By awakening you
So I, corrupt and
Dirty, watch silently from afar.
