I Cannot Love

I Cannot Love

A Poem by SheActsLikeSummer

 

Etch your name into my bark, will you?

Carve your love into my skin, will you?

 

I curse you for the pain you bestowed upon me.

I curse you for the suffering you cast upon me.

 

Your love will not last, I promise you that.

The other will break your heart, I promise you that.

 

I am not a canvas for you to draw your emotions.

I am not a diary for you to spill your heart.

 

Do you understand me now?

Do you understand why?

 

I am a tree.

I cannot love.

But I can hate.
