I Don'T Want To Love You

Burning desire wanes I'm drained but something remains I don't want to love you anymore but don't think I can stop I feel your delicate hair cascading across the empty lesions of my trust I taste the sugar dipped kisses you draped upon my tongue I hear your whispers that held me close to each frantic clutch My eyes shut but you only come to life the birds sing and I know they sing to you my heart pangs, it pounds and it pains thoughts crash and burn in rain Your scent has crept into my soul keeping you ever near I don't want to love you anymore but I doubt you'll disappear

Not wanting what we want is a conundrum. Well expressed Tim.

I really really like when you write this way. It's not just beautiful but rhythmic and its message is well felt by many.

A very sad well written poem. The reminders, the pain, the loss. You have described it well. :)
