Notes About The Poem

I'm Through Loving You

It's the end of our beautiful dream
The thrill is gone, for that reason...
I'm through loving you.

The nightingale that sings in my heart
for you has flown away, therefore...
 I'm through loving you.

There's no longer warmth in your smile;
no sparks in your eyes; I'm afraid...
I'm through loving you.

The magic in your touch has worn off; your...
embrace is now as cold as winter snow, so...
I'm through loving you.

You've worn out your welcome; you've been...
locked out of my heart for good. Sorry but...
I'm through loving you.

I'm through loving you.
I repeat, I'm through loving you!
But my heart can lie to itself.

Congrats for the third place you got with this one, Edward. Edward Ibeh February 15, 2020 at 6:54 PM Thank you so much, Andrea:-)
