Untitled For Now

You can't even admit that you love me And yet you beg me to stay Pleading with me not to leave you To stay with you come what may You pretend we are only best friends Though we are so much more than that You pretend I am your platonic companion Ignoring that our love is a fact My love why do you do this to me Treat me with such casual disdain Telling me you are thinking of marrying Giving someone else your name You seem to have not problem hurting me Making me feel less than I am Who are you trying to fool anyway Any marriage you enter will be a sham Just stop lying to yourself you love me And I love you more than words Don't mention anymore lady friends The very idea of it is absurd Sometimes I am truly sorry That I cannot make myself say goodbye It seems I will be with you always Although I sometimes wonder why I watched J Edgar a few days ago and have been obsessing over it ever since. Apparently there is a fierce debate over whether or not he and Clyde were actually lovers. I don't want to get into this debate, this poem is based on the movie, not if they were lovers in reality. Mostly I based this poem off of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2hZ7l3eWOI#t The first couple of minutes is cut off which sucks. I will never understand why people upload half a scene or most of a scene. But in the beginning of the scene Edgar tells Clyde that he "cares so very much" for him, and Clyde says he loves Edgar. Then Edgar brings up marrying some actress. I'm still working on a title, but wanted to go ahead and share this.

I enjoyed reading this one. It's a good poem. Perhaps you could call this one "Love Speaks Louder Than Words" or "Why Don't You Love Me?"
