Against My Will

You didn't love me as you should
I loved you every way I could
I loved you fiercely, gently too
What more was there for me to do?
I loved you deeper than the deep
But your love wasn't mine to keep

I loved you madly like the storm
I loved you more than any norm
I loved you wildly like the sea
I loved with every thing in me
I loved you softly like a stream
I loved you in my every dream
I loved you burning like the sun
I loved you like no other one

If there were more that I could give
My life I'd grant so you could live
I loved you and I love you still
I love you quite against my will.

Very good rhyme. What a feeling it is when you love someone with all of your heart.

Sometimes, though, it's wise to let go when the depth of love isn't reciprocated. Thanks for the visit.

This is soul touching dear eileen, i felt the depth of what youv conveyed here in such a powerful manner; especially resonated with “ I loved you madly like the storm I loved you more than any norm I loved you wildly like the sea I loved with every thing in me” what a way to depict the strong love youv had and still do! This is beyond breathtaking! Love it
