I love you NOT

I do not love you

 

We argue at every topic at every turn

What you want i could never properly discern

What you need should be none of my concern

 

I cannot love you

 

You need something I could never give

You exist in a place I could never live

I am something your existence can't forgive

 

I should not love you

 

To fall for you, that must not come to pass

You belong to another this be the truth alas

Content I should be behind this unbroken glass

 

I must not love you

 

May light abandon me so your smile I shall not see

Silence embrace me that from your sweet voice i can be free

Bind my heart and senses may Eros hear my plea

 

I do not want to love you

 

With my Passion unrequited I lament

CUPID!!! Release me from this sweet torment

My heart cracks falling now I cannot prevent

 

I need to stop loving you

 

Each smile you make a piece of my heart breaks

Every sound from your lips and my soul quakes

Each moment I spend away from you all of me aches

 

I must stop loving you

 

One by one my senses are captivated by you

Little by little my soul dies longing for you

 Piece by piece my heart breaks loving you

 

I can’t stop loving you

 

To love you is to be torn to pieces times a million

Ending it would be the logical decision

But it seems Loving you is my life’s mission

I resign myself to this beautiful oblivion

the subtle repetition made this beautifully affecting piece powerful. It was done skillfully and allowed the reader to feel the passion behind the words.. few pieces have the ability to "move me" as this one did.. It is also something that I can relate to and it is like you saw into my soul and bared for all to see little glimpses.. the flow was lovely and the rhymes nice.. well done:)

Speechless!!....how can somebody write this good?? i was lost in your words a while.... i think I felt the pain behind this poem...

This was a very honest read and something I believe many of us can relate to… the denial… the way we try to protect ourselves, the depths we go to rationalise… to try to convince that we are better off without… and how… slowly but surely… we come to understand… realise and accept that the heart wants what the heart wants…. All of this was offered to me stanza by stanza with the slight changes in repartition wearing down at the walls that were built.
I love everything about this poem, thank you April for allowing me to read over your shoulder;) and thank you jemaral for sharing your poetry :)

sometimes we can't find a logical explanation of why we feel what we feel inside.
or exactly when we started feeling it.
and sometimes we can't untangle ourselves from it no matter how hard we try. it's just one of those bitter-sweet unescapable ironic facts of life. awesome write!

Beautiful ! ,,we can't stop ourself from loving som1 ..no matter how much it hurts certainty we don't have control in our heart ,we can just only prevent ourself ,keep us awaye frm that person but again at a little place we know they r gonna stay till death day .
Your poetry holds a nyc rhythm ,a feeling for som1 with lot of differences but still in spite of lot of trying it cudn't help but love .. simply beautiful !
