I Need Not be Told

Member since 2005 · Posted 5 Jul 2005 · 2 comments

When I see you all I can do is stare, I now understand how love is unfair. I swim in your eyes and I melt in your skin, An unbridled passion comes from within. I dream of us together but then I wake, To find what had happened had all been fake. I have never felt so empty inside, And I fear my love will never subside. But I need not be told, I already know, That the love I hope for will never be so.

Such a common theme in young writers, so common that to do it well in a poem may me impossible. At the least it would take a fresh approach, which this is not.
