If you say that you don't love me
that's fine look me in the eye
and say it to me again
as i look at you and cry
If you can say it to me
then i'll believe it's true
and I'll try to go on living my life
pretending I don't love you
I know it would only be pretending
and I think you know it would
because if you asked me to tell you I don't love you
I don't think I could
In fact I know it would be impossible
what's in my heart is real
so if you told me you don't love me
I know exactly how I'd feel
It would be like dying
only I'd have to stay alive
with only an empty shell
continuing to survive
It'd be like losing everything
and having to stay a float
only there's a hole in the side
of my ever sinking life boat
So if you don't want to be with me
just remember these words i've said
don't tell me you don't love me
keep it to yourself instead



who's gonna pay attention, to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears, when you scream
-the cars

Going through old poems, looking for something to amuse myself, and I find,...This.  You are smart in not asking, For I asked, and now I regret the very words I used.  He doesn't love me, but, HE CARES...  He thinks that will help ease the pain of lost love...  And, he is wrong.

I know all to well how your feeling but a word of advice...if your anything like me you wont take it lol....ASK  believe it or not its better to know then to keep on going day to day asking yourself the same question over and over "does he/she really love you" The pain will be there for sure if he says he dont and it doesnt really go away i dont think at least it hasnt yet for me..but it gets pushed to the back and one day we'll find the one person that really loves us as much as we love them...when that happens you'll look  back thinkin of the 1 who didnt love you and laugh at his loss and your gain   Good Luck i hope he loves ya

I imagine there are many of us who don't want to hear from the person we love that he/she doesn't love us.

This piece is moving, jenifeather. *hugs*

Nice poem.  Honesty truely is better than living in a lie.  I hope that everything works out ok for you.
