Jo Bien Poet Couplet

Loaning Love

Who was I to make you want
I know that I act nonchalant

Wanting what you can not have
Loaning love,  no permanent path

Build a wall protect your heart
I told you this from the very start

Can’t you see my heart’s not true
You should do what’s best for you

Turn and walk, give me space
Leave me here, your steps retrace

I’ll only hurt you, leave you blue
Break your heart before we’re through

Don’t know how this came to be
But I know my heart is free

Can’t be tamed, can’t be caged
Sorry I can’t help assuage

I’ve purged the doubt, purged the guilt
My spirit free my soul rebuilt

I’m doing what is best for me
Sorry you’re hit with debris

Ashley Yates July 4, 2009 at 10:35 PM I love this, its very thoughtful but sometimes when you really love someone a little debris and heart ache along the way doesnt really seem to matter... Great write!
