I Can't Say I Love You BUT

Every time I think of you 

I think of the good days ahead,

for what good are those days when I am already 

spending them with you. 

Everyday I confide with you 

I know I can come back to you and believe 

there is a part of you still that will 

love me for who I am.

Every time I fight you

I feel the connection we have is one that needs

tested like the waters we cross 

everyday for you and I have ran that puddle before

we just need to make sure not to drown in it.

Everyday I hold you 

I conjure the feelings trapped inside of me 

then I quell them into a demon of which 

you and I play with ever so childishly. 

After all, feelings are for those who 

sleep at night angry while we sleep 

in peace and reserved.

I can't help but to wonder... should I be in awe? 

Or do I fling myself up to the constellations 

hoping that even as I hit the stars the nearness 

of your heart is one still out of reach for my 

soul to keep?

For what I sought out in the beginning was a mere 

gesture - a friendship one might include because 

we are sailing a ship of our own friends, 

are we not?

I can't convince to persuade myself... am I intoxicated by you?

Drinking the concoctions of emotions through the fornication 

I consider myself still in lust of your kiss that touched my lips 

feeling me in and wrapping my hands around your touch!

Even skin to skin I find the ecstasy of such venom truly delicious.

As if to honey you are succulent and so cohesive you 

contort, 

torture, 

and 

swallow me!

OH unholy sacrilege bless me of my insatiable lust as my 

contrite heart is one that will seek forgiveness if only I know 

what your heart will give me.

For...

I can't say I love you but the moments, the memories, and the magics are  

fleetingly escaping I concede them completely because you know me 

better as I know of much as you. 

No longer will I fight for you tonight, for a hold or an embrace 

is for sure bound to happen.

Okay, well this is rather silly on my part, but all I could think of from the title was 2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad by Meat Loaf...But moving on! Really lovely poem; you did wonderfully contrasting aspects of love, i.e. the bitterness and caution vs. overwhelming rush of emotions. Your works seem to often be based in the workings of the brain and soul (or wherever emotions come from :P). Your a good writer.

a poem that illustrates feelings of love beautiful, it powerful presents the reader with the kind of emotions that everyone of us has experienced in the game that is love, bitter as it is sweet. nice one.

Well such game I have yet played and even won so. I've fell but never fully fell in too deep with the one I would have to say. I've been in love countless but countless also I learned to never be on time! It is bittersweet as a nice one for sure. Thank you :)

Lovely and very well expressed, you capture the emotions that many of us can only simply feel and not pen. I enjoyed it.

Thank you, it's the beauty of one's writing and as we're able to capture it in essence it even drives into a different level of penning another one because it will then take you to different heights again! Thank you for sure :)

Oh, these words brought me tears at his moment. These are what I want to tell somebody, but I can't.

I just love this piece. I can see my soul in here..speaking and crying.

Amazing words. Excellent piece!

[Zero_Edge88]

I know, I felt something like this few weeks ago but then I realize I can't. I decided to keep it for someone else.

The beauty of our soul does speak out real loud and when we hear it crying especially for that someone to love it becomes really something we can't even begin to explain but we know we will hear it out loud.

Thank you for the visit and the review. Have a beautiful day :)
