If He Didn't Love Me

A poem about choosing which side.

IF HE DIDN'T LOVE ME
by Kelsey Desmond

 

If he didn't love me I don't know what I would do.

Once he didn't love me, then there was you.

After a while, he soon saw,

How you loved me so. And that was all,

It took to know how jealous he was.

What am I supposed to do, when torn between two loves.

 

When more than life keeps on going.

When love is something you can't penetrate, 

And happiness is not just something else,

What am I supposed to do?

 

If I loved him, he would be sweet.

He'd hold me at night, and sing me to sleep.

He'd then kneel on one knee and take out a ring.

And pop the question like it was nothing.

 

If I loved you, it would be fun.

We'd play games all night, and care to no one,

But ourselves and each other,

Because our couple: there is no other. 

 

And if he didn't love me, I wouldn't have you.

But whose to say our love is true?

If I didn't have love, I wouldn't be myself,

So I must love him, and to one else.

 

Don't get me wrong, I want to love you.

I just can't take the drama when we fight and argue.

So, although I know that your love is now true,

If he didn't love me, I wouldn't have you. 

Author's Note

Totally reposted it for you guys. It was messed up. What do you think of the two guys? Do their personalities show well?

you are so cute. This poem reminds me of a Victorian loveletter penned in beautiful calligraphic note
in words of days of yore- the thou and hither and the now of Dr. Seuss, speaking in silly rhyme and backwards meanings facing forward to find (you) be sent to the other, the lover forever.

I like it very much.

Thanks for all the reviews guys! I love them. I would be happy to return the faor, so just send me a read request or message, and I'll get to it!

[Jared Hughes]

Yes, their personalities showed rather well. The 2nd guy seems laid-back and carefree, whereas the 1st guy seems more traditional.

Good piece.

Love it, one is the do right man, the other is just a commitment-phob i think. He didn't love her, if he did then he wouldn't have needed the other guy to show him how special his girl is.

[Lorrie]

Very well written, and sometimes its hard to choose between two different men, especially when both have different personalities and traits that you like and dislike. I look forward to reading more of your work.
