Unlovable

by Baby Rainbow   Jul 26, 2012


You say you want to be with me
but what if you found out :

I lie awake and cry at night.
I've been hurt more than you know.
I don't know how to give you my trust.

So tell me, would you still love me now?

You say you love no one but me
but what if you were told :

I have dark secrets deep inside.
I carry scars engraved in my arms.
I am scared of human touch.

So tell me, would you still love me now?

You say you would accept me for who I am
but what about the truth:

I am untrusting and insecure.
I am damaged beyond repair.
I am afraid of being in love.

So tell me, would you still love me now?

No.... I didn't think you would.

    Trust is a big issue. Whether it's in a relationship , marriage, life in general.
    I have to be completely comfortable with
    someone before I am ready to confide
    If someone loves you enough they will love you no less, knowing your deepest secrets

    Excellent piece, Saffie! This clearly clicks with Kelly Clarkson's song: Dark Side.

    It shows the unconditional love one has to offer to the other party. Briliant, and Hats-Off!

    Saffie!!!! How dare you think thoughts like this. I know that you usually write from experience, so this is probably one of those...

    Typos: the only typos that I see is that you don't need the space between the word and colon(:). You have one of those in the first stanza, and the fourth one.

    Now, about this poem. I think that you feeling a bit insecure inside, and I am telling you there is no need to. You are a beautiful woman :) I think that everyone feels this way at some point :( so it is very relatable.

    This is a very beautiful poem, because it tells me a little bit about you (if it is true). Especially the lists of the reasons that you made. That almost made me cry when I read those...I also like how you kept asking the question, 'So tell me, would you still love me now?' because it makes the reader really think.

    Very beautiful poem, Saffie. It is very emotional, so it is heart-wrenching. I'm sure that he will love everything about you (if this is true).

    Excellent

    If you tell that person face to face without those who used to tell him, Oh he will soon die. So please don't let anybody tell him any. This is not only to save love but also to prevent him to die. Sweet expressions which I adore to maximum extent.

    Ahh, I'm sorry,
    I think the only way to find out if that someone really loves you is to tell. if he can understand and loves you, he will be with you no matter what.

    Poem wise, it's well written.
