Not Love

That was not love

I didn't realize it until you left me.

The broken heart that you made 

Healed up as fast as it could 

And yet there's no even small thought of you.

The face had disappeared along with the passion

Yet you dared to say no to me.

But thank you

You opened my eyes to the answer.

Whatever I felt for you

It was not love and it will never be.

Wow.. So relatable for me! This reminds me of one of my past relationships. I continuiously was trying to convince myself I deserved the way he treated me,and that he actually loved me. I tried so hard,no matter how horrid he actually treated me, no matter how selfish and mean he was. I tried so hard to believe. After he broke up with me I realized, this was not love and it hurt so badly because I really loved him.

Thanks so much for sharing! Great work!

Great poem! I love the theme and how you expressed it :) A very unique and extraordinary poem about love~
Keep writing!

I feel as if this sounds weird, might want to re-word it "And yet there's no even small thought of you."

I felt the poem lacked emotion, maybe that is coming from my angle, but I felt it needed more powerful word descriptions or emotion...you are on the right track though

I quite liked it. Nothing to fix. Carry on!

Well it's fantastic that you are writing so many great pieces on love! Love is a complex subject and I believe that the more you analyze it now, the more prepared you'll be for it when it comes your way.

Loved it!One small suggestion. "Disappeared doesn't seem like the best choice of word. You might want to make something that flows a little smoother. Or you could remove the had. either would work great! Other than that..... Loved it! Keep writing! :D

love seems to be so interesting...i've never been in love myself, but i am still young yet, just as you are Ice Girl :) i'm sure one day we'll both find love and we'll be happy. But besides that, it's a wonderful poem. i like it.
