There's a reason I've turned away from your love.
Depriving myself of the man I've drempt of.
Your heart reaching for mine,
words sweet as wine.
Your touch, heaven sent from above.
A sentence of death has been handed to me.
Of mind, body and soul, our love never to be.
Please turn and walk on,
not just after I'm gone,
but now, as my tears set you free.
Your deserving of love that's enduring forever.
I've prayed I could give you, 'Happily Ever After'.
But, now it's to late.
I must face my fate.
Forgive me, my love, I'm not stronger.
Please understand that your love is my dream.
Your arms wrapped around me, secure, it would seem.
No protection from death
as I take my last breath
and darkness creeps over my being.
Good bye my love, I'm pleading.
a final request, the emotional tone of a swan song and the inherent sad message. good work. -Tailor
A very deep poem I should have liked to have read 'Farewell my love' rather than good bye or 'My heart sets you free like a dove' however I enjoyed reading it and it intrigues me as it is so full of hurt, most of the best poems are written this way! well done!
There's a reason I've turned away from your love. [First stanza] …Please understand that your love is my dream. [Last stanza] … Poet has expressed the utter helplessness to fate…touching and moving… Finally, ‘Good bye my love, I'm pleading.’…with ‘as my tears set you free.’...exceptionally and unchallengeable a kind of poetic bereavement …. With much woe and sorrow… thanks for sharing… Ms. Nivedita UK 10/10

I would like to translate this poem
touching, soothing yet heartbreaking, and heart-wrenching of course. lets just say, its one of the best poems i've read. its very true, real and realistic. bringing forth true emotions. and ur personal feelings. very good poem. pardoon my ignorant comments: love is a funny thing, letting go might be an option but is it the best? think abt it, if by letting go brings pain to both parties, why bother? enjoy the moment and savour it. although circumstances might affect, if ur love is strong. trust me when i say, it will go on.
