I don't

by Morgan   Feb 7, 2008


I don't want to love you too much
I don't want to love you too little

I just want to start with you &
Meet somewhere in the middle

I don't believe in politics
I don't believe in god
I don't believe in honesty
I don't believe in fraud

I just believe in living
In this time with you

Dying to take in our hearts
A love that beats true

I can't tell you yes
I can't tell you no
I can't tell you to stay
I can't tell you to go

I just want to feel your love
At this moment in time

I just want to free the thoughts
In my often enslaved mind

    I can tell by all of your poetry that you have a really good heart. I have no respect for anyone who dares break it.

    I have a few suggestions for the poem though, because some places were a little rocky.

    "Dying to take in our hearts
    A love that is the truth"

    For the second line, I think that
    "A love that is true"
    sounds much better.
    Just a suggestion. Everyone will read this differently, but for me, the way it is now, the second line knocks off the flow.

    "I can't tell you yes &
    I can't tell you no
    I can't tell you to stay &
    I can't tell you to go"

    I think you should take out the "&'s"
    You need to match it with the other stanza that is like this. The "&'s" also knock off the flow.

    "I just want to feel your love
    At this moment in time

    I just want to free the thoughts
    In my often enslaved mind"

    You are rhyming lines 2 & 4 of this [if you were looking at it as a stanza] and the last line has more syllables than the one it is rhyming with, so again, flow of it is rocky. I think if you took out "often" it would work.
    Again, just a suggestion.

    Overall, I like the storyline to this. You can't do anything but love the other person. I think it is sweet.
    And for that, I gave it a 5/5.
