Don’t tell me it will get better
Don’t tell me I will forget her
Like a ripple slowly erased from the water
The curve of her neck is etched in my memory
The way she looked at me and smiled
The way she touched me
Her hand so soft and delicate
So warm on my skin
Teasing me, caressing me
Her hand knowing the places that made me shiver
The places that made me wanting more
Don’t tell me it was a mistake
That it is not something worth remembering
That everything will go back
The way it always was
Don’t tell me who I am
Don’t tell me you know what’s inside me
I am not the girl in school uniform anymore
Obedient and perfect
Smiling on the family picture
I am not the one who will get married
Surrounded by bridesmaids
In matching outfits
And give you grand-children
Bouncing on your laps
I am the one who loved her
And everything about her
Passionately and for ever
Don’t tell me what is my pain
Let me in peace grieve my lover
My best friend, my soul mate
There is no tomorrow without her
There is no tomorrow
Without her!
I can’t bear her absence any longer
I have taken my life
The life you gave me but didn’t let me live
The beauty of being loved…
Thanks @turmercy!
Live and let live… Many today abhor such a love, but love it is still.
The mind closes to what it does not understand and like an illness they think you will heal…
They can’t,…won’t define YOU!
This is beautiful!
Thanks @dottaraphels! Live and let live is indeed my philosophy in life. This is not about me but it was inspired by something I read in the news on several occasions about young people being bullied because of their sexual orientation and ending up killing themselves.
lol…Generalizing here, Knew it was not about you. Very on
Time subject, thanks for sharing.
Ooooooh. I love this poem. Nice one
Thanks @lancaster!
And still again I ask, Does suicide make it right?..
Lovely lines Jef..as always. …Well done…$ß.
Thanks @sibbilwhyte! Some people can bear despair more than others. Some can’t see any way out and rather end everything. It always makes me sad to think that someone was in such agony that they couldn’t imagine continuing their life.
Heart wrenching lines. Sounds like a woman lamenting the loss of a female sex partner. Tell me I’m wrong please.
Thanks @jonnysnow! This poem is about loneliness and despair.It is about losing the only person she loved deeply and who loved her the way she was.And yes it is love between two women.
Nice lines.
Heath Ledger’s character could have written that in Brokeback Mountain and maybe Crash wouldn’t have taken Oscar for Best Picture, lol.
The emotions were quite glaring.
Some words could have been changed shah.
Still, it was well written.
Thanks a lot Jay @jaywriter! I loved Brokeback Mountain but it was really sad. The cast was great.
All these melancholic lines from you of late.
But they’re beautiful.
Thanks @babyada! I had some extra sadness to get rid of. I don’t have any left.I am ready to get back to short stories.
Is it just me or does this feel like a “gay” poem?? I’m not being judgmental oooo!!!! Enjoyed it though
Thanks @teekellz! I’m not sure what you mean about “gay poem” but if it means the poem is about a gay character, yes it is.
