The Only Side Is Mine To Give Up

I love you and I will continue to even if MY love is forbidden. Good lord! How much love have I given? Please forgive me for not giving up. I know I have to like ASAP. But I just can’t obviously resist even with your cold demeanor assist. Obviously I am so obsessed but in moving on I’m not the best. Deep inside I can’t let go and if I insult, even more so. I know in the end I will be harmed. And with stings of love, I’d be swarmed. But it’s the only way I know to live, to give your heart and then grieve. As you can see this may count as love letter. But soon, I must do better for there is no good with one-sided love. Metaphorically, it’s a “one-winged” dove.

and please, can you actually criticize me here too using the comment box? Thanks. BTW, I am actually in a one-sided love, if you're wondering what inspired me to write this.

MAX, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
