Please

Just a poem to a guy who'll never read this

Please be honest

Do not tell me you love me

If all it is is lust

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Do not tell me my eyes shine like the sea

When the sparkles are tears you caused

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Do not tell me our love is like the sun and the moons

When our love could not be found in the deepest of oceans

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Do not tell me you’ll stay

If your mind is always out the door

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Do not make empty promises

You know you’ll break

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Don’t call me an angel

Because you’re the devil

Please do not lie

Please be honest

Please do not hurt me

Please stay

Please do not lie

I can relate more than I want to admit.

I sometimes wonder if ppl don't take their words seriously, as if words are seasoning one can dash one day, and shelve another, or if they simply get carried away and mean what they say, but it's fleeting because their hearts aren't rooted, deep or sincere, or perhaps if they're just pathological and used as tentacles of manipulation...or maybe a mix of all.

IMO, such ppl with such words should be confronted.


Instead of sending them a poem, should whack em across the head with a book lol

I like how heartfelt this comes across.

Almost a muffled plea on a pillow.

If it was more socially acceptable I would smack him with a book but instead he read this poem and didn’t realize it was about him

[Gee]

I give you full permission to go whack him with a book on one condition, it is big and heavy.
You should write some free verse in the style of your comment above, might be interesting.

Haha if i do i'll send it to you first

The speaker in this offering seems to be coming from a position of strength for most of the poem, calmly demanding honesty in many ways from the other person in the relationship. Then in the last verse comes the almost desperate ''please stay.'' The impression is that the speaker is the weaker party here, possibly having long been aware of the other's wandering ways and been angry about them, but also fearful of abandonment. It's hard to see a happy ending here.

very well. quite an honest & innocent piece of art have u come up with in suchness of words. lust is all what u will find in an every eye u fall into love with, however, only the few will mirror u their true love. seeems, u already got broken many times, & can't take this anymore. u need no bullshit but love. u want no one night stand, but love for life. a very true & heartfelt poetry it is. really like reading ur emotional work. looking forward to your stuffs shortly. have at it... and keep writing. u write so good.

This piece was honesty in its truest form. It was really raw because it was the part of us that wanted such things though never outright. Often we take time and focus on what want and neglect what's truly needed. I liked this. Great read.

[Levi Levin]

Honestly is always best. Great write indeed!!!

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

I appreciates the sense and emotion of this poem. There's need for honesty if two can thrive. Well articulated.

[Nicole_the_poet]

Honesty, a lost art to some for some speak hollow words. Sometimes confusion can lead to the lack of knowing if it is a need or a want and that inevitably leads to breaking someone's heart. There is no easy choice at times, even walking away pains in such circumstances :)

[Justin]

that was very good, it was dark and mysteries, u were able to cover a topic which is sometimes hard to talk about :)
