Why can't you say, "I do."

by Lyn Aribaca   Mar 31, 2018


I know we've been together
To hold each other for so long

I felt we'll be happy forever
Seeing you in my future, I felt so strong

I said "i love you", you said it too
Your heart belongs to me, and mine belongs to you

I always want you, always choose you
And i know you felt the same way too

But, why?

I hug and kiss you, like we used to
I hold your hand as tightly as i could do

I only ask you if you wanna marry me too.
"Will you marry me?" tears on my eyes,
You can't say "I do"

You look me in the eyes, I cried.
You take away your hand, I died.

Looking for the answers but nothing on my mind.
You walk away from me, I died a hundred times.

    Like it Lyn! It is simplistic in the wording but conveys all the emotions of a wounded soul. So many wonderful rhyming lines like; You look me in the eyes, I cried. You take away your hand, I died. Your poem touched me personally, as I loved a gal many moons ago, everything was there but she would not say; "I do". But time did heal a broken hearted me. Added to my Favorites.

    As stated this is deep so deep in fact it had me in tears even though it's simple... I've been here and for certain reasons was unable to say "I do" some things are never meant to be unfortunately but when one door closes another opens if you believe in yourself

    This poem certainly evokes a feeling of sadness and defeat. It is very heartwrenching to read descriptions that describe a beautiful form of love, yet it is marred by the denied acceptance of marriage. Very sad.

    Nice work on this!
