I don't feel like
loving you today,
no talking over
last night's bloodshed
to wind up forgiving you
there are twelve hours to go
daylight cleans the slate
lipstick stains
the mouldy sheets
probably end up loving you
anyway
lost in quagmire
rich black
sinking quick
against grainy thighs
gritted lips
while you punch; poke
holes in my head,
call it love
roll over and sleep
diamond shines
with busted dreams
a bloodied lip
and we slip
unconscious
into the shade
again
to say I love you
mean it twice
taking it back
once
slamming doors
and I don't feel
like I can love you today
I probably will
against my will

i like this!
Straight to the finals with you!
Wow, this part "to say I love you
mean it twice
taking it back
once"
Is really good. I really like it. You words are very inspiring and unique. I've never seen a love poem quite like his. "I don't feel like I can love you today" That line s so good and so true in some relationships of mine that come to mind. Thanks for the entry and good luck to you!

so real
There is a roughness here that supports the idea quite well, I think.
Also, the truth of this poem deserves the exploration you gave it.
I like this a lot.

A stark and raw write that holds a lot of truth and pain! Why do we love against our will sometimes when it's not deserved? Powerful write! Love it!

I don't know the answer to it, perhaps it is because some feel they are worthy of nothing more, low self esteem...I could not love unless the person loved back with more than hands, he would have to give his heart first.

Bloody hell woman, how many writes of yours do I have to read?!! AHAHAHAHAH but I don't mind (:
"I don't feel like
loving you today,
no talking over
last night's bloodshed
to wind up forgiving you"
LMAO as if you'd EVER dare say that to Dan.
The "I don't feel like" kind of makes me think of me saying "I don't feel like doing my homework" and then being bratty.
"daylight cleans the slate
lipstick stains
the mouldy sheets"
INFIDELITY?!
"Daylight cleans the slate" is so good..makes me think of time passing by.
"lost in quagmire"
'Quagmire'...nice word.
"call it love
roll over and sleep"
FICTIONAL SON OF A CRACK WHORE!!
"diamond shines
with busted dreams
a bloodied lip"
Jewellery and bloodied lips...interesting. (:
"I probably will against my will"
HAHA!! Love the 2 different meanings of 'will'
Amazing...good luck (:
