Bitter Love Poem by Sonya Florentino

Bitter Love

Rating: 5.0


Why can't I write about anything else but you
This can't be writer's block I'm going through
If you're my muse, I'm not amused
I'm getting tired of you
There must be things more interesting than you!

Why can't I dream of anything else but you
I can't go on just dreaming of us two
Honestly, I'm getting bored
I don't know what I'm sleeping for
If I can't get any rest from you!

Why can't I think of anything else but you
I'm so confused I don't know what to do
I meditate on other things
I've tried about most everything
But still my thoughts keep coming back to you!

Why can't I love anyone else but you
It's cruel what you're putting me through
It's maddening, I'm suffering
I just don't have a clue
Why I'm still so in love with you!

Why can't I live for anything else but you
I know it sounds pathetic but it's true
The mere thought of losing you
Remembering and missing you
God knows I'd don't know what I'd do
Life would have no meaning without you!

Why can't I write of anything else but you
It isn't funny what I'm going through
God knows how much I'm sufferring
But He cannot do anything
Only you can truly set me free
Tell me we're not meant to be
Tell me that you don't love me
The bitter truth - the truth -
and set me free! ! !

We just can't let go of that bone once we grab onto it..we're like a dog with a bone, lol. Great descriptions of how that familiar emotion feels. (crossing myself now; to keep it far away from me) .

Sometimes it is hard to move on, a very painful write, it is always sad when a love affair ends, 10 Lynda xx

I like the grittily honest style of this poem and the frayed emotion it conveys.
