WARNING! Never Do This!

Just another thing you shouldn't do!

Please don’t love me.

I have nothing to offer you

Except a kind, happy smile

For everything you do.

I said, don’t love me,

You brilliant, stubborn man!

My heart has remained open

With no other game plan.

Just don’t love me.

Don’t waste your time.

There’s only fun and laughter.

It’s considered a crime!

Don’t ever love me!

There’s no hatefulness here!

Only a gentle heart.

Do I make myself clear?

What is so wrong with:

Singing loudly,

Sailing proudly,

Movies together,

Sunny weather,

Being a goof,

Never being aloof,

A loving kiss,

No loneliness to miss,

Sharing stories,

Morning glories,

Sandy beaches,

No wrongdoing speeches,

Dinner together,

Snowy weather,

And… and… and… and…

I know, it’s all so bland!

So, whatever you do, do NOT love me!

I’m not worth the pain.

Don’t bother with me.

You’ll have nothing to gain.

you tell me not to love you, you tell me your work spells like poo, but i just cant get enough of you.

Wow, this is truly heart warming this poem, even though this is purely sarcasm, it just makes it even better and adds a different tone to this altogether. Your other poems have just made me happy and rather hungry, but this poem is truly heart-warming. I love this poem. :) Have a wonderful day.

Thanks again! I get a huge laugh at your responses. Sense of humor is a GREAT thing!!

[ZakLeonRamsey]

I know and the sad thing is many people don't have a sense of humour and luckily I have one because some don't. No problem. It makes me happy that people are happy with what I comment and post.

when I read the first two stanzas I thought "Hasn't everyone felt this way before? Like they're not good enough for the person they're with?" But then I realized the tone was a little more tongue in cheek. I chose this piece Bc the title was the most attractive, in that it seemed to be warning me NOT to read it. I'm sure that there is a great deal to gain!

[A. Kim Spradling]

Thank you for the review. I quite like it. I would also read something because there was a warning not to read it, so I TOTALLY get that. "I'm sure that there is a great deal to gain!" I certainly hope that is the case.

[A. Kim Spradling]

BTW, this is the MOST sarcastic poem I have ever written.

[emipoemi]

no kidding, Miss Starr....it's a hoot to boot. Well done! It also has a Keatsian "Song About Myself" vibe to it.

[A. Kim Spradling]

WOW! I read the poem. I had not read it before. To be compared even to the vibe is an honor!

Ohhh this is so good. I felt the desperation here. Great job!

[A. Kim Spradling]

Thank you so much.... This is my sarcastic wit trying to come through. I had never thought about desperation being there, but actually, you are right, it is there.
