I Can't Give What You want

This is to my ex, even though he'll probably not read it. My emotions are just so annoying that this is the only way I can truly convey how exactly I feel about him.

It was fun, really
We had laughs, jokes
A week past, fly-by
My feelings were mixed

I like you as a friend
Loved you like a brother
I tried to talk to you
But you mistook what I said

Letters keep arriving at my locker
My mood dampens when I see
These proclamations of your love
Because I know that it's wasted

I received one today
It was sweet, no doubt
You told me I gave you hope
And you think about me constantly

You believe that you will be
Forever single because of me
That I've stolen your heart
When I didn't even want it

Please leave me be
I can't fake my feelings
It's a craft that few people possess
But it never works out right

My heart does not yearn for you
Though yours does for me
Get over me already
For I can't give what you want from me

I like it! You are honest, direct, and strong. He has to get the point, and he will, sooner or later. I had this problem once...except instead of notes, he would sit on my porch and wait for me. I was very direct and strong with my words...he flew away and landed on someone else's porch :)

I know exactly what you mean when you write this!! The last two stanzas are the ones I relate to the most. The whole piece is beautiful and quite a good way to capture what you want to say, even if he doesn't look at it. Beautiful!!!

[Phantom Rose]

I hate it when this sort of thing happens. I just can't tell anyone "no". I don't want to hurt them...

This is direct and straightforward. I hope this problem is resolved soon and that no one gets hurt in the process!

Blunt!
The situation is not such an attractive one for both, and quite common.
