Lips with no meaning

More than anything I wanted to be your one and only lover.
So many times I tried to keep us together.
Yet time after time I could clearly see
your heart chose not to fall in love with me.
Yes, you possessed me in all your earthy splendor
and each time I gazed at your lips
they looked warm and they looked tender.
No doubt, my lips wanted to feel loves every pleasure
but her lips were thinking, enough already, why are we still together?
Your kiss was lonely because you held back your love.
They were lips with no meaning.
Just a pair of empty lips hanging there.
Somehow it just doesn't work when no love is attached.
When only one cares and the other has no feelings to share.
Have you ever thought about two lips going together
with one wanting to give love and pleasure
and the other thinking whatever.
Your cold and crazy one way heart
is destined to keep our lips apart.
A heart unwilling to share a tender touch
nor share a kiss, some love and trust.
So tell me please are you real?
Whats the deal with those empty lips?
Don't you have a heart to give?
I chose to give my love to you.
Answers please.  Why did you choose not to?

Sudhir and Marina thank you so much...my sincere appreciation.
This was from a relationship a ways into my past right now...as I thought of the relationship in retrospect I was hurt and I was angry...even today I still try to learn lessons from this...to find relationships that are mutual...a hard task for me because I seem to love to chase women that are unavailable...James

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

James, how well you put it! Love has no meaning if it doesn't come from within!

Thank you Marsha for the nice response.  I was talking to a friend last night while we were kissing and I was telling her about this poem "Lips with no meaning" and she said what do I mean by that expression and I explained to her if both don't have the same feelings the kiss is meaningless.
I did feel the sincerity of her kiss...I am not sure about mine...yet...
Thank you Butterflies...yes I sincerly Love a good "love poem".  One in which you can feel the emotions as you read the words....James
