You are bad for me

You are bad for me

A Poem by Sonia Stokes

I can't tell you how I truly feel.
The words to tell are full of pain.
My love for you no one can steal.
With you I wish I could remain.
I will wait for you.
I will stay.
I don't know what else to do.
Do as I may.
No one will know who you are.
The only one who knows is I.
this secret will be lost by far.
Because it was all just a lie.
I needed to feel your touch.
I loved you, and I missed you dearly.
But you made me long for it too much.
I nearly couldn’t say this… Nearly.
Now its over and now I am happy.
I didn’t want to let go.
I don’t want you to be unhappy.
But our love forgot to grow.

Great poem, sometimes things don't work out the way we want and we have to move on. Nice work.

"I nearly couldn't say this� Nearly. " - That is by far the best line in this poem. I love the message you are trying to convey within the poem, but combined with the title, I was slightly confused. In the beginning of the poem, you are talking about how much you love the person and how you plan on staying with them, but by the end your relationship had ended, yet you are happy still. I understand the concept of the person beind bad for you, because I've been in that situation :P haha, but I am a little confused as to the flow and your overall meaning. I like the way you organized the stanzas, it was easier to read, always helpful. Thankyou for sharing!
