PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was so attracted to you
that it's clouded my judgment.

Your piercing eyes
pierced my heart,
and I was bleeding dry.

I tried to force you to love me
but you couldn't be controlled.

Love shouldn't be like this

where I pursued you.

Love should be easy;
it should take no effort.

All we had was physical,
we couldn't agree
on the things that mattered.

I just wanted to be happy,
but you left a bitter taste
in my mouth.

You gave me no explanation
so I raked my brain trying
to make sense of what was unspoken.

You bruised my ego
but didn't break my heart.

You did not have permission
to destroy me.
