Love Me Not! Poem by Samuel A. Eyitayo

Love me not
For love is sweet
But also toxic
Desirable
But detestable

Love me not
For love is pain
But also soothing
Wet eyes
But broad smiles

Love me not
No one can stop it
When love gets hold
No one can fight
When love get going

Love me not
For I am a babe
In the act of love
A novice
In the path of care
Where you is sacrificed

Love me not
For I will die in love
But I may live with it
Run with it
And roast with it
When the door slams

Love me not
Strange fellows
Who befriend me with deceit
Whose is not always known
Until the dead is done
When love is dead

Love me not
Till I am strong
Ready for onslaught
That loves bring
The goodies
That follow love

Love me not
Till I am sure
That I am caught
By the love of Him
Who loves me
For what I am
