About the Poem

This is a poem I wrote after my best friend, (now my boyfriend) told me he loved me for the first time. We both understood that "love" is a strong word and we rarely used it because at that time we weren't together yet so we didn't want to say anything we were unsure of.

I really felt this poem, the word love gets thrown around so much these days. Its a word that should be cherished and just be thrown around

Don't Tell Me You Love Me

Don't tell me you love me if you are not sincere
For a lie that strong can ruin my life and bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved, fear to love ever again
It can cause my fragile heart to break, tear and bend.
Think of all in life that will be missed
because of one small broken promise
So, when I put all of my trust deep within you
Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do.

I think that this poem is so true because my Ex boyfriend told me he loved me now he hates me . The sad thing is i still lovev him.
kristi
that poem is totally awesome. i know exactly how it feels to be told youre loved by someone and they totally didnt mean it. it hurts and scars for a life time it seems and it takes forever to heal from the pain. love can be used to heal or destroy and a lot of times we cant tell whats going to happen until the final results occur
Laura
