Poem 16. DON'T TELL ME

Please, don't...

Don't tell me I am bad for wishing more of rain
Just to let the wound heal and just to ease the pain
Don't tell me I'm absurd for following it, too
I'm just a believer when they said it is true.

Don't tell me I am weak when often I do cry
I am just afraid to let this heart of mine die
Don't tell me I'm naive for singing out this tone
That makes my heart bleed and strikes me hard to the bone.

Don't tell me I am weird in once believing them
It's what my heart decides, so please just do not stem
Don't tell me it will fade and I have to accept
Our story will end but memories will be left.

Mmmmm. it's sort of a conflict that started from having different opinions. But surely, that's not enough reason to end a relationship but if it really ended think of it as a beginning of a new chapter. (yung chapter na puro flashback na lang. hehehe).

the word "stem" rhymes with "them".. i thought "stem" was misplaced until i googled and found out its synonymous to "stop".

P.S. I love the read a "happy piece" from you.

[Dhaye]

Yes, it does mean "stop" here.
Just wait, Ganda. My happy pieces are on the way. I just don't want to leave this collection undone. You know I'm making a book with the "rainy" theme but in different concepts.

Thanks for another notable review...and for reminding me of my "happy piece".

No one has a right to tell you how to feel or to tell you when you should “get over” any given emotional situation. Each person has their own heart, their own timetable, their own way of dealing with “stuff” that is thrown in their pathway. This is a powerful vent...very empowering. Lydi**

Thank you, Lydi.
