I loved you
Like a ring holds a finger
Like a desert yearns for water
Like a planet orbits a star,
far but near, far but near
I told you
With my eyes sensing your body
With my lips licking your soul
With my arms holding you up close,
bit more, bit more
You could have
When our lips met
When those fears began to melt
When I knew you loved me ******
You did not, you did not
Now you want me
but my heart has forgotten its beat
but my wounds have ceased to bleed
but my ego has killed your need
I love you, I love you...
...but I don't want you back
To bring the community of poets together, I organize online hangouts where poets from around the world share their poems and the stories behind them. Drop me a message if you are interested.
