Christopher Berry Poet Rhyme

I Will Not

I will not bend, or even break
Or join the floor when my knees shake
Each time a single thought of you
Is just too much to take. 

I will not falter, yield, or flee
Or let you get the best of me
Each time you flaunt your happiness
For all the world to see.

I will not weep, or shed a tear
Or give your words a chance to sear
Each time you speak without a thought
For broken hearts so near.

I will not.
