I Can't Give What You want

This is to my ex, even though he'll probably not read it. My emotions are just so annoying that this is the only way I can truly convey how exactly I feel about him.

It was fun, really
We had laughs, jokes
A week past, fly-by
My feelings were mixed

I like you as a friend
Loved you like a brother
I tried to talk to you
But you mistook what I said

Letters keep arriving at my locker
My mood dampens when I see
These proclamations of your love
Because I know that it's wasted

I received one today
It was sweet, no doubt
You told me I gave you hope
And you think about me constantly

You believe that you will be
Forever single because of me
That I've stolen your heart
When I didn't even want it

Please leave me be
I can't fake my feelings
It's a craft that few people possess
But it never works out right

My heart does not yearn for you
Though yours does for me
Get over me already
For I can't give what you want from me

I like it! You are honest, direct, and strong. He has to get the point, and he will, sooner or later. I had this problem once...except instead of notes, he would sit on my porch and wait for me. I was very direct and strong with my words...he flew away and landed on someone else's porch :)

Oh good! :) I'm glad it worked out for you.

It's a horrible situation to be in, whichever side of it your on. Moving on is hard, and it's just as hard trying to get someone to move on, because you know that what they want just can't happen.
This a nice poem, well written :D

A very difficult situation. I've been in a similar situation, and I know how you feel. There's a unique moral dilemma involved. Rejecting him hurts both you and him, but accepting his offer of love will be even more disastrous in the long run. Very well written.

Thank you for your review :)

Nicely written, expressive write. Been in a few relationships to know we have to bite the dust and move on when we dont love someone like they love us, or vice versa. There is always someone out there for each us, we just have to spend the time searching.

The ending line is needed. I like the description and the problem described. Hard when friendship turn into different directions and only one need love. Sometime need to be direct and try to hold on to a friend. Hard to do. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Holy crap, yeah, I know the feeling :) I am in love with the lines: "That I've stolen your heart, When I didn't even want it". I should seriously get that tattooed somewhere! No critique from me...I enjoyed it thoroughly!

[Heromen Selena]

Haha that would be a cool tattoo now that I think about it! :P It's been a couple years, so if you got that tattoo it would be awesome to know :) Thank you for your kind words.

Geeezzz ! What more can you say ?
You have drawn a clear picture.
It is one thing to mislead a man, but
he has the whole story, you cant go
on saving him from hurt--- he is going to
hurt no matter what you do or say.
