Unworthy Love

Lies melted across my lips,
and I can't remember the last time
I meant it
when I said I love you.

Your words of commitment
scare me to death
and I want to scream
at the top of my lungs
to stop.
But it never will.

My screams just echo
in my head
like your stupid sincere words,

and I can't remember one time
when I kissed you without fear
crawling up my throat.

I hate lying to you
because I feel it,
I just can't mean it.

And its sad
the only thing I really remember
was crying after we broke each others
hearts.

And life is just like I'm spinning
but I'm always the one
to fall down.

And I wish I could wake up
and the last ten years,
were just a nightmare,

but I pinch myself
and I know its real,

but I still can't open my eyes.

I can't look at you because
if I can't lie to you
I can't lie to myself.

    I'm loving your pages

    I kept reading from your poem 'Sick' which I didn't comment because I couldn't find anything uncliche to say, except 'Wow!'. I loved the way you wrote that one.

    I am now falling in love with your backgrounds. Are you in a Background-making Group? You should be.

    I also loved the bridge image you used behind the last poem I read, Bone Dust.

    Now I'm loving these purple Pansies and your colour schemes! (sorry, I dabble in Graphic Design so I take note of these things - I do read the poetry too, lol)

    I really, really enjoyed this poem. I had to go back and read it again, I enjoyed the flow of this poem, and the thoughts behind it, and there were two sections that really stood out to me, and that (for me) seemed to sum up the emotion behind it.

    "And life is just like I'm spinning
    but I'm always the one
    to fall down"

    And of course, the finish which was very powerful, and really tied it up neatly I think.

    "I can't look at you because
    if I can't lie to you
    I can't lie to myself."

    Anyways, I just enjoyed reading this

    A very sad and emotionaly expressed piece of poetry spoken with the sincerest of words... truth.
    You have managed to paint a picture of a scenario i can quite well relate to here. A sad yet beautifully expressed piece of poetry
