I wrote this because my girlfriend wanted me to
tell her I loved her, but I found it hard to do because the same thing happened to me in another relationship, and it did not turn out good.

I dread saying I love you,
To shield me from the pain.
It happened to me before,
I don't want it to happen again.

Love is a strong word,
You can never take love back,
You can say "I love you baby"
But what if love does not last?

A heart is easily broken,
When love runs out one day.
You tell me you love me now,
But what if love does not stay?

It is hard to tell what love is,
When the word is thrown around.
Why must we say we love,
If love has not been found?

I hate to say I love you,
To shield me from the pain.
It happened to me before,
I don't want it to happen again.

I loved this stanza. I think the main reason I really liked this one is cause it's EXACTLY what I'm going through right now. My bf gets mad cause I won't tell him I love him because of this exact reason. I think it's a phrase thrown around way too much and I told him I wouldn't say it until I meant it. I think you did an amazing job describing the thoughts that go through with saying "I love you"

Keep it up!

You shouldn't say "I love you" until you are ready. If your girlfriend really understands how you're feeling and how it hurts to say it at the moment, she'll wait until you're ready.
Anyhow, great job with the writing. Keep posting!

Hi pip_man,

Welcome back! I'm glad to be seeing another one of your posts, cause, yes, it has been awhile and I've missed reading your work.

I liked this poem, that's all there is to it. I can really relate because I'm going through something like this, also. I hope you come to a happy conclusion of how to handle the situation soon...

Hope to be reading more of your stuff soon, thanks for sharing!
