If its true I cant't erase The pain in your dark eyes Why did you let it go this far? Why did you allow me Why did you encourage me With your teasing words? Knowing knowing your heart Was still wrapped up in her Even though I arouse you. When we are together You forget her for a moment And love how I make you feel. Then the guilt sets in Even though you made no promises And I have asked for none. I tell you I miss you You tell me I shouldnt... ...with a smile. And when I say I love you You tell me you cant return those feelings But time and again you are here. What am I supposed to think? How am I supposed to feel? What is it you would have me do? Because no matter what you say No matter what I do In the end...I still love you. |

A painful read. My heart aches with this read. Love can be, unfortionately, heaven or hell. We pray for heaven. Sometimes it just isn't. I compliment you on this poem. Emotional, questioning, a search for answers. After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

I do know the feeling of this one exactly. I was in a very similar situation and it tore me apart inside. It sucks to love someone who is only using you to fulfill needs that their partner (her husband in my case) couldn't or wouldn't fulfill for them. I made that mistake and let me tell ya, it was a costly one. I now question weather or not women even have the capacity to really love. You do everything in your power to show them how much they mean to you, but in the end you find that your efforts were all in vain. I feel for you, I really do. There is a very painful scar on my heart because of that situation for me, but still none of that matters. The bottom line is that the person is only using you and nothing they say should be trusted or believed. Talk is cheap where as actions (or inactions in my case) speak volumes about the person. Take it from me, I know. I do wish you the very best of luck and strength to get you through a rather difficult time. Please, do yourself a favor and get the [edited] away from that person because they will only take from you until you have nothing left to give and then they will be on to their next victom, ya know. Do take care.

Wow... this situation is terrible. But the poem was beautiful. I hope this isn't really happening to you, but if it is I wish you the best. Jenn "I'm a big, big, girl, in a big, big world, it's not a big, big thing if you leave me, but I do feel, that I will miss you much..." Emilia |

Yes Paula of course it is the pain...what else is left after an unfulfilled love but the pain...when you say I still love you it is like saying I am still feeling the pain...but someday you will keep feeling the love and love will continue to feel you...I am hoping...James |

This was absolutely beautiful. Just look at all the posts and you can see that this poem touches those who read it. The pain fills you as you read the words. The love wraps around the pain. Such an expression of real life love. My compliments to you. My only regret is that you must suffer the pain, since you write from real life experiences. Without darkness there is no light |

I like this and the questions it presents. I would say..although it may hurt sometimes...to just love them unquestionably. Perhaps they will come around in more than just a physical way. Love is patient...so I've heard..  |
