Sorry for dropping such a letter,
But it really is for the better.
I really wish to love you right, but I can't
I can't be with you.
And its not that I dont want you,
And its not that you are not enough,
You are perfect as you are,
There aint even a thing I would wanna change.
The problem is me,
My heart still beats for another,
Another soul that I can't unlove.
Another soul I feel tied up with.
Broken I am,
And trying I am,
To repair the broken pieces of me.
Sorry I am,
To have given you hopes of the future together.
A mess I am,
I am bruised and hurting.
Choked I am,
By the flashbacks of moments yet gone.
And I dont wanna trap you in my cage.
I Dont wanna hurt you,
Hence, I am setting you free
Free to find someone deserving of you.
Free to find a love resonating with you.
When I close my eyes
I see you
No matter
Where we are
You've captivated
My mind
And shattered
My heart
You haunt me
In every dream
You are in everything
That I see
You won't let me
Forget
You won't allow me
To amend
I'm trying not to break
But I'm all out of bend
You are everywhere
That I go
You are in everything
That I do
You betrayed me
Let me unlove you
You were suppose to be just an admiration
Where my eyes rest into adoration
Then suddenly you become my inspiration
What happened was not my intention
Believe me, I didn't plan to.
I never wanted to
If I could I wouldn't have to
However I had to.
Captured the hues radiating from you
And how the words taste from you
Or how warm you are at night
And how you're future shine so bright
Please I beg of you never notice me
Hurt me, Leave me, ignore me
As long as its with me
No i meant, stay away from me
Hate is vile
Hate doesn't smile
Hate is rough and tough
And sips bad stuff.
Hate hits
Hate spits
Fire, fire
In the dire drier.
Hate burns
Hate hurts
Hate is cursed
Hate outbursts.
Hate prejudges
Hate misjudges
Hate destroys health
And causes untimely death.
Hate is ugly
Hate is nasty
Hate is deadly
And very lousy.
Hate lies
Hate cries
Fire, fire
In the air fryer.
Hate is a crime
Hate is a waste of time
Hate is audacious
Envious and obnoxious.
Hate has no luck
Hate does not give a fork
Hate is very sad
Hate is very mad.
Hate is hell
Ring the bell
To chase away the haters
The corrupt liars and the sinners.

don't fall in love
Loving him in a romantic way
From a one way street till endless highways
Till he signaled no entry sign
I was a fool or maybe the luckiest of all
For some people,
That happens once in a lifetime
Or
For others,
They fall in love over and over again
How can he deny now
When I defend him then
'Whatever the cost'
What was the past, today
Where is the future, tomorrow
O honey!
You will never know
Cause he never knew what he had
And he never realized when he lost
Baby!!
"Don't fall in love"
"I can't lift you"
It's not everybody's game
They fall in love
Some rise in love
In their own personhood and love...
But
She fall in love deep down his feet;
don't fall in love!
don't fall in love.
Trying so hard not to love her
But with moistened lips
My fate finally come
How do I erase you from my mind when you are my every thought no matter how busy I am or try to be?
How do I erase you from my heart when I didn’t choose to fall in love with you?
You are every thought before my eyes even open and every last thought before they shut and without even being able to control it, I meet you in my dreams wish they were a reality.
You are still the one I want to talk to every day. The one I want to turn to when things go wrong or things go right.
for I am but a mortal c r a v i n g your existence-
I seek not material items nor wealth,
just the t a s t e of your lips.
feel me in the breeze of October, feed off of my touch as if you
have s t a r v e d for me forever, for I never knew thirst until
you quenched me,
MY LOVE.
I savor each moment we create, r a p t u r e me inside your silhouetted
shadow of love and I shall reveal the secret you desire...
that I adore you beyond
c o m p r e h e n s i o n.
for there are NO syllables, NO metaphors to embrace without
you in my world-
I sought for a love that could fill my essence with devotion,
and you, my love, satisfy my every a s p i r a t i o n.
if you wish to be my dream, if you YEARN for me as I do for
you, then come here, demand my kiss and we shall LOVE until the
the grains no longer fill an hourglass.
our love is i r r e f u t a b l e - - - - - - -
FOR I CANNOT UNLOVE YOU.

Sangria sunsets and moments of clarity,
with tangerine shades bringing hope and sincerity...
...easing a troubled mind.
I know not of things that do not nurture-
I only know the beauty in mother nature and all her grace.
Our perfect picture painted reveals all things lovely,
like a treasure I hoped to find.
Resting gently upon the reverie,
I feel a glimmer of God's creation.
Just the slightest touch of your skin against mine
is enough to free me from any fallacy I may encounter-
I never knew starvation, until I hungered for you my love,
and you nourish me with all that you are.
As the tide surfaces the sand, I recall the most memorable sensation,
moments we walked along the fawn sandy shore.
Me...you...
after all we've been through-
and oh, those things you do.
For hope can be found in a moonlit moment…
and I cannot unlove you.

the winter snow has drifted,
each flake reminds me of you-
through memories I have sifted,
and I thought I'd be uplifted,
but my yellow skies turned to blue,
for my heart cannot unlove you.
when raindrops linger through air,
each drip is at ease yet sad-
for you were supposed to care,
and always be there...
now this cascade has made me mad,
for I cannot unlove what we had.
my love for you is like a reverie,
each streamlet reminds me of you-
I still wonder why I just couldn't see,
all the moments you longed to be free,
with hope residing inside a memory,
awaiting dreams to come true-
for my heart cannot unlove you.

I can't unlove because I am
Impatient, selfish.
I love as if I cannot be hurt.
Going on as if nothing is wrong.
I cannot unlove because I know not how.
I spend my nights awake dreaming of how everything should have been.
The speeches I have amongst myself
Lost in complete darkness.
Accepting the sound of my voice as an I told you so.
Seeking a dream that seems so far away.
I can't unlove because I accept disappointment.
The contempt of putting others first without fear.
I truly believe I cannot unlove because I am in love.
Young again in thought running wild, free.
I consider it a perk.
Being the only other person I know how to be.
No longer embarrassed of facing the opposite end of the mirror.
Finding that the most important things bring the most smiles.
I am far from perfect
But I cannot unlove as if I made some sort of mistake.
Purposely mistaking myself as a fool
Love unlove
She wanted time
She thought with it we would change
She wouldn't wait,
did she care that we hurt?
We run to put space,
For she asked for space
But why did she say she loved us
as she walked on us?
Why Stay our love as she gave up on us
We hurt and so we run and we run
till all that's real is this race with time
So all we know is time and space
And we embrace our last in solitude
Knowing only that which echoes
In a fountain of memories unclear.
Who truly knows love's most secret path?
How to un-learn its path without heartache
To unravel its knots without unveiling the heart
It's lover's unlove?, …so we run
Like a flitting wind we pass.
Flirting with death we exist,
But is it life, to live in fear
To live and run and so we soar
Thus for our spirit these wings we thank ye,
For our returned heart we thank thee verily
When all sprawled pieces are nicely put together
And we once more are whole.
We shall fly high and higher still
We will not be caught and made tame
We shan't long or need for we fear heartache
Our fragility and sensitivity allows for a passion's blaze
Dare we to try once more and lose our fire
and you still keep me on my toes,
I'm breathless, can't catch the slightest breath
strangling in silence
awaiting to hear your voice,
anything,
but it comes down to reality,
and your here no more,
you've chosen to move on
while I'm locked on rewind,
forgiving silly memories,
forgiving anything to keep me busy
because at night it bites,
creeps up along the bedside, like photographs-
melting in the fire-
the one we caused from fighting,
the fights we stripped each other's pride-
and we'd be right back at the rebound, once the swearing was finished
and the love diminished
and we'd forget it, without regretting it
and leave it on a strong note,
believing it's what we needed,
and now,
it's gone.
I bow my head,
Raise my hands,
Ask God to give me,
All the strength he can.
Because,
I can’t unlove you!
I never knew,
A love like this,
A love like yours,
I’d never have missed.
I always knew,
As my heart weeps,
That you were never,
Really mine to keep.
So…
I bow my head,
Raise my hands,
Ask God to give me,
All the strength he can,
Because,
I can’t unlove you!
