Love the one you're with or vow to not the one you lust.

by Behind Blue Eyes   Jul 28, 2007


So when was it that things changed?
and who was going to let me know?
with all your talk of how you feel,
there's a lack of caring that you show.

so these feelings you say you have,
are the feelings still true?
if not, just break my heart.
if they are, is it stress that's getting to you?

with so much going on
and summer time running out
every second with you matters,
but getting the chance, i have some doubt.

since when did spending time with me
turn into such a chore?
do you really have to force yourself?
am i really such a bore?

okay, so please, don't answer that.
but tell me, what's going on?
we don't have much time to spend together
before i'm up and gone.

lately all that i have done
is given without expectations.
and all you've done is take and take
and filled my head with temptations.

spend time with me if YOU want to
not because I do.
prove to me that our love still exists
and that we aren't through.

the smallest things you do for me
to show that i'm on your mind
stop me from fighting so hard for your heart
and give me the chance unwind.

i made you the promise that I wouldn't give up.
and on that promise, I guarantee.
i'm not giving up on love
as long as love doesn't give up on me.

    I really enjoyed this poem, probably because it was very easy to relate to. It flowed smoothly, and the emotions were very strong and clear.

    Your word choice was interesting, I liked the attitude that showed through at certain parts. Maybe you could have added a few metaphors or something to make it a little more colourful, but overall it was really good. :)
