If You'll Just Break My Heart

Don't let me love you,
Don't let me fall,
Don't let me do this,
If you'll just break my heart.

Don't let me know you,
Don't let me care,
Don't let me see you,
If you'll just break my heart.

Don't let me live
In a fantasy world.
Don't let me dream,
If you'll just break my heart.

Don't let me in
To you little world,
Don't open the door,
If you'll just break my heart.

I want to love you,
I want to care,
But I want none of this,
If you'll just break my heart.

"Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels guide thee to thy rest."
-William Shakespeare, in "Hamlet"

this poem is so easy to relate to...a fear of being hurt by someone you love is a sorta innner torment that everyone experiences.
they say it's 'part of love'
but really...can't we have the love minus the paranoia??

excellent poem...the repitition worked well and highlighted the message

keep posting

Thanks.

) I don't know why we can't escape the paranoia. I wish we could, and that's why this poem was written for the one I love. I want to love him with all my heart, but I don't want to let my heart go if he is going to break it. Why can't we trust our hearts to others without the fear of being hurt?

I like this forum, thank you for your input into my poetry. I enjoy knowing what others think of my works.

This is a very good poem that shows your emotion. I sadly know how you feel, because I feel the same way for my boyfriend. I guess that's because I'm so used to being the one that gets hurt all the time from guys, but anyhow, I enjoyed reading yur poem. Keep up the good work.

i understand...
is it really better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?
i like your poem.

This is a lovely poem...can't say I can relate, I haven't been in love yet. I like your use of repetition, very effective. I hope the one you want to love doesn't hurt you too badly. But hey, maybe the love will be worth the pain?

Love and hugs,
Lizzie
