Wish I Could Love You

Slowly,

I feel you getting beneath

My skin,

Slowly, surely.

I feel myself smile

Every time I see you,

And every time you look at me

Though I try my best

Not to.

You’re making me

Wish I could love you,

But I can’t;

No; I can’t fall in love this way,

Not again.

My heart would break

Over and over

Without a doubt

And this time,

I wouldn’t come out

In one piece,

And this would be inevitable.

But still,

I wish I could love you.

Author's Note

Wouldn't say I did much editing, but I just have to post it. Hope you like it anyways...

I've had this poem stuck in me for a very long time, but somehow I could never get it out the right way. All my previous attempts failed miserably, but I think this is somewhat good.

Yes I understand the reason over temptation factor and it's so true.You just want to fall in love but you know it's not going to be okay later.Better leave before being left.This feeling is just the worst in the world and I'm living in this at the moment.Thanks it's very well written and very relevant

this is a fabulous poem, it is so sweet

[PaperHearts]

I really liked this. I could relate so much to it, and I thought that you did an incredible job in finding the right words to say what it is that you were feeling. In a way, there were moments where I kind of wanted you to go deeper into the situation and expand on particular emotions, however, I did like the simple execution of your poem. Great work,

This is a great poem, and a lot of people faced something like this before. It's a horrible feeling to want to love someone yet you know if you let them in they'll end up breaking you. Well done:)
