Don't Let Me Fall In Love

By Gunslinger

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Please don't let me fall in love. Don't let me hurt again. I am a fool to Cupid's tools- His arrows bring such pain. You say my words effect your heart- But you could never know... Each gentle word you write to me- Does strike my heart a blow. A fool, you say; and so I am- But still my soul can feel... My melancholy words of love, Though trite, are very real. So write, my darling, I will read- But I shall not respond... To do so would give birth to tears... And make a tighter bond. Don't break the shell that I have formed- Protective barricade... Defense, so fragile, by love stormed- Too often, low is laid. Written March 11th, 2002 © on Mar 11 2002 10:58 AM PST, John R. Yaws   0 • 10
