I didn't mean it, you know.
not entirely.
I said I was through.
Your evasive affection
finally pushed me away.
I didn't mean it
when I said the love
was gone.
I just wanted it to be
(you are so hard to love).
Your demands wore me out,
I had to go.
I thought it was true,
I could go on just fine
without you.
But you see, I didn't mean it.
You took it out of context.
You were supposed to beg me
to stay...

Yes we men see it in black and white, it's the nature of the beast.

Ladies have you noticed that hints just don't work...
love the poem kid not the hurt.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

oh girl, you did it again.  you were supposed to beg me to stay...... man i have tried that  sooooo many times.  and it never worked.  i really like the way you use paranthesis to say a whole different thought, but it doesn't disturb the flow nor the message of the poem. very clever, creative and fresh.  KEEP IT UP!!!!  here is where i beg you to stay so i can read more and more!!!

Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Kynder, thanks a lot! Glad you liked it. And yes, I am staying, this is the most fun I have had in a long time. (Isn't that a sad commentary on my love life?)

~Cat,...(can I call you that?) hehe.  This poem just makes me shake my head with a grin on my face at the things we do for love.  Don't like the pain involved for you,... but it was a great poem, well written. Take care you. *Peace.
