I can't (shame)

this is about someone who really cares for a girl and shes going to get married to a guy he really hates and he can't tell her how much he loves her

 I can’t write

when you won’t read

I cannot fight

what anger I cannot feed

I can’t go on

without you here

I cannot sing

without you, my ears

I can’t breath

without your air

I cannot cut my heart

to make it fair

I can’t see without

your gaze

I cannot find my way out

of your haunting maze

I find myself lost inside

my throat

every time you don’t see me

and he gloats

about you and him

Love is a battle field

and I will never win

I can’t hold up my shield any longer

I will not suffer

The fate which was never meant to be mine

I cannot be stronger

for you

for you were my strength

I can’t drive my eyes 

from the bait

you hold out in front of my hands

I cannot grip 

those strands

that hang down in front of your face

for all I am 

is the tool for you to erase

every insignificant moment

we were in the same room

I can’t object to your groom

for I cannot be 

what you need 

but I can be full of greed

I love the metaphors, so true to feeling love lost. The helplessness, knowing anger will do no good, knowing she can't or won't bother to see. My favorite lines: "I cannot cut my heart//to make it fair" and "I cannot be stronger for you, for you were my strength" They tell so much, so deeply.

This was great but is so sad that he couldn't tell her how he felt. I would stop the wedding. :) I like it.
