If You Don't Love Me

by Mark   May 20, 2019


If you don't love me, then, do I love me?
For I within that love do view me whole.
That take your part and lesser mine will be
Then I, my better self, then had you stole.
Let know what you'd remove, would love you still;
In you my love resides and there may die -
Unless you find that time gave greatness will
Presenting back wherein the void does lie.
But if my love shall perish; me without,
I'm poised for none a better place to death,
For you my love was made, and there I'm out;
Last breath in hearted air that love had breath.

Deny my love, accept my love, but know
It dies with you, whichever me you go.

    I get it, Mark. Once you give your love, your destiny is no longer your own.

    Fascinating write Mark! Definitely a tongue twister but the message was beautiful.
