Just words

Those words
"I'm in love with you"
The words
that make ones heart
fill with glee
Are words
so idealistic
so easy to say.
Why is it easier
to tell a girl
She is sexy, hot
a babe,
Instead of telling her
she looks pretty today
good,
stunning,
at least beautiful.
And as for the men,
girls scope out for them,
sink down
to the shallow end of the lake.
They want hot
Not handsome,
Not smart.
The world,
so idealistic,
so set on fitting in
has fallen down
into an abyss of society.
But me,
I'm not looking for the idea of love.
I don't want to hear,
"I'm in love with you"
Because with those words
can come,
"I'm out of love with you."
I don't want temporary.
I don't want
in
then
out.
I deserve forever.
I deserve
"I love you."

Author's Note

I was watching a show and someone said he loved his wife so much but she died and he said he was in love with another woman. It didn't seem the same the way he said it and I felt inspired to compare the two.

Wow. I totally understand the I'm out of love with you. It's not a line to relate to because it's not really what people say. It's a line that can be interpreted from the many other interpretations someone could get when a guy or girl has told you "I'm in love with you" and then disappears. I understand completely. This was amazing. Each word made complete sense. I guess you just have to be on the right track with the poem to totally understand. But you did good. Great job.

This shows a very good point.. What you say here is true, pretty much every word. I'm sure you just put this in for poetic effect, but I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone say "I'm out of love with you."? Unless that is just me? Still a very good piece of work.. Well done (:

beautiful, handsome, pretty, etc., there much more meaningful than words like hot and sexy. This was a great poem with a great point:)

aw.. oh no.. love never dies.. and has no comparison... love is real and no one should be blind ....

Interesting! I really liked the concept of this poem. It made me think, and made me question love, and in a way, the different dimensions of it. The line "Because with those words/can come,/"I'm out of love with you."" really made me stop and think, because it was a thought that I had never even considered before. Nice write!

Aah yes i can relate to the way you feel in this poem. I feel the same way. I want a boy to say "I Love You" to me, then they will toch my heart. But anyways This is a great poem, i loved reading it. Wonderful :)

Beautiful poem, Very Romantic.

Phenomenal.The whole poem is fantastic.Inspiration may knock at your door any day,any time.Seems like you didn't let it slip through.
Personally,i've never told a girl that she's hot,a babe or anything else.These words are physical,low,while beauty is ethereal,mystic and lovely.
