Lend Me Your Love

Please leave your love with me

I give you my vow

I won’t smother it with neglect.

I am just not the type.

 

Please lend me your love

Just for a little while.

Leave me in delight

Before you leave.

 

I know it sounds crazy,

Because who would like to borrow a thing such as love?

But I know that just a little of your love

Is better than a bunch of any other’s.

 

So please,

My dark bliss,

Leave your love with me

I promise to give it back soon enough.

I love the line "I wont smother it with neglect"- Its exactly the sort of line I would love to write. I love the vaguely sarcastic/comical way it reads in my head, as the voice of a scorned woman. And the contrast between the lines.
"my dark bliss" is such a beautiful phrase.

A very good poem. I like the gentle statements. Requesting love and with a promise of kindness. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Lend me your love was rather gentle, tender and and rather forth coming at the same time- i enjoyed it. .

Lend me your love and you'll never get it back, 'cos i'll be needing it forever

Or, "Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall"

[Steven Cash]

Reminds me of a song (as always)

'Fear is an anchor, time is a stranger
Love isn't borrowed, we aren't promised tomorrow'

that's what that second part reminded me of

but nice!

[Amanda J. S.]
