Do not tell me that you love me, 'cause to me it's just a word.
I want to hear something that no one else has ever heard.
Do not promise me the moon 'til you can put it in my hand.
Do not offer me the world 'cause I know it's not that grand.
Do not swear you'll stay a lifetime unless you really mean to stay.
Do not try to hold me down or I'll just up and fly away.


--You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.--

Great work, Tennessee Angel. And as SpitFire said, it is very strong. I enjoyed.

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

very COOL poem T-angel
VERY COOL

loved the strength in this yet laced with a longing for honest love
great writing

It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and you lose it all ...
And it's unnerving
(How one move just puts me by myself)
There you go just trusting someone else
(Now I know I put us both through hell) ...
I'm not sayin
That there was nothing wrong
(I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me)
And I'm not sayin
(We ever had the right to hold on)
(I just didn't wanna let you get away from me)

She says baby,
It's 3AM ... I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.
