A love that can't exist

by cowgirlstar26   Sep 13, 2008


I feel your eyes on me
your touch across my skin
there's something wrong here
closing my heart deep within

we both wanted something
a love that can't exist
so this is the end once more
my heart, my life dismissed

everything you've become
was everything I didn't want
still I tried so dam hard...
to stay nonchalant

I can say I hate you
invisible tears trickle down
why did I do this to myself?
the truth I never found

I touched the fire
I dove right into the flames
for what purpose?
I had NOTHING to gain

my self assurance, a lie
hidden within my fears
rejection at every corner
but this time it fell here....

He was everything I needed
I left home for what? you...
the love that I can't let go
what kills me? the truth

knowing that you might care
that i could be what you need
but seeing is believing
God knows...You never loved me

    Ah!! Amazing poem. It's filled with your emotions about the one you care for. My favorite stanza would be this one :
    He was everything I needed
    I left home for what? you...
    the love that I can't let go
    what kills me? the truth

    I particularly like the very last line of the stanza "what kills me? the truth" I'm not sure why but in a way I can relate to it because with every situation someone is in it's the truth that hurts the most. it's amazing what love can bring us to do.And in a way this poem shows us that.

    It's always sad when a relationship doesnt turn out how you thought it was going to. I could relate to several different verses in this.

    "everything you've become
    was everything I didn't want
    still I tried so dam hard...
    to stay nonchalant"

    I have recently split with someone who turned out to not be who I thought they were, and though I tried to keep myself from getting my heart involved, it was a losing battle! Great job on this. I'm glad you were before me on the comment chain and I got a chance to read it.

    Great poem, enjoyed it very much. There is a lot of emotion put into this poem which makes it that much better. Only thing is that the last three stanzas seemed a bit off flow for me. Well done.

    Ugh, thanks for reminding me of my situation lol. This was very sad but it read very nicely. i didnt strain to understand but i did strain in emotion because it made me think of someone that i can't seem to hold on to. At least we can know that we love when nothing else goes right. and i liked your profile and Jesus rockin your world. Keep it real.

    Awe, this poem was so sad.. And very nicely written. It was powerful and emotion filled, you portrayed the sorrow perfectly. A very attention grabbing piece. Your word choice was good and the flow was even better. An outstanding poem. 5/5!
