Warning: written while I was paying attention to class today, and is in a style that I have never tried before.. it's a bit rough, but I like the first idea. Please let me know of any edits you suggest My curse (needs better title) We get in the car, going wherever life takes us She wraps her hands in mine, it fills me with sorrow I don't stop her, she can hold them if she must She can have them right now, but only to borrow She touches me more, gets even closer She gives me a kiss, her lips on mine This only serves to bolster The Dislike of crossing this line She asks if I am starting to love her I have no answer for that, nothing to say I tell her I need more time to mature Truth is, my heart is not mine to give to give to whom I may Nothing that she does even compares To the person about whom I must tell lies I am led to be full of despair For every time I see anothers face, I only see her eyes Take my hand, I'll hold it back But the whole time I'll be thinking of another For anyone but her, my feelings lack This is my curse, my love for her I cannot smother |

maybe I'm reading wrong but if you have to lie, it's done for. Be up front always honesty is the best policy always the poem is good but a heart not yours to give is bad |

I thought I was having a hard time conveying my message.. hmmm have to rewrite Essentially, my heart is still with a past lover, and I can't give my love to a new person... does that make sense? |

Adam, for sure it makes sense to me...read my poems and you'll see that I have been in love with a married man myself...and really until you let go of the love you don't have right now for whatever reason, you will never be able to move on. I hear you totally and relate well. My love is for another man when I have just married a man January 17th and it's not fair for him or me either. No re-write...I get the message. But it's sad the same. Sad stuff makes for good poetry! Write on! |

I will have to go take a glance at your poems. It is sad, it's a tragic thing, it's just not good in any way. I'm glad you understood it, that's a relief for me, I was racking my mind trying to find something to do. And thanks for the welcome : ) |

adam, first, welcome to PiP...next...this is a very powerful write, these words are especially poignant: "every time I see anothers [sic] face, I only see her eyes" ...while I would never wish your dilemma (curse) on others, no doubt there are others who have lived through your same scenario...good write... |
