I Will Love You

If you don't love someone, it better to say a clear no than keeping them hanging for longer, for the longer you hang, the harder it gets to move on.

I Will Love You

 

“I will love you.”

Long gone are the nights

When I used to get this reply from you

Constant interrogation of rights

Why can’t we be together and yet true?

 

“I Will Love You”

You gave this bare reply

Is all I deserve a not-so-clear boo?

After all these nights of bitter cry

That I did for you.

 

“I Will Love You”

That other guy you date

Sorry I came between you two

He’s a drug addict, yet great!

Still I am a true lover too.

 

“I Will Love You”

I ask you, why don’t you say

A straight and clear no, please do

I want to move on and sway

But you keep me hanging with ado.

 

“I Will Love You”

Yes maybe you will

But you will have lost the boy, who grew

To love, to make your dreams fulfill

And make you life partner too!

 

Stop It!

I don’t want to hear that anymore.

I’m changing my password

Wouldn’t call you and bore

And save my two-and-a-half hours, you heard?

Thank you!

The heart and mind speaking at the same time, different languages perhaps, the heart wants to deny what the mind sees...knows. That said, this is written so amazing, i love the eloquent honesty, use of rhyme and meter...i love the fact this just goes right through your heart and grabs you, very relateable...great job!

A deeply felt creation with equally relating song chosen.
It happens that often a few fall for the person who doesn't care but ignore the one who is truly breathing for him/her.

[Shivam Murari]

Indeed, great poet. Thank you for your review :)

[Prritiy]

You're very clever with your wording. Occasionally it takes me a me a couple of tries to understand your meaning, but I get there in the end :)

Well done :) keep it up

when love works it is truly wonderful - when it doesn't it is often incomprhensible. the part that struck me was the mention of coming between two others - the other being less than admirable. That some would rather be with an addict than with someone devoted to him or her.
Well penned.

[Shivam Murari]

I am glad that you deciphered that metaphor-cum-reality so well, great poet! That is exactly what I meant when I said
"he is a drug addict,yet great!
Still I am true lover too"

The other guy hardly had any interest in the girl. While for the boy in the poem, the girl was his drug!

Thank you for reading, reflecting and expressing :)

I think it's beautiful that you spoke so honestly about the pain expressed in this piece.
I think that's what really won me over with this piece.
You say you changed the password, but you've let your readers take a look into your true feelings openly.
Well done.
