[bodytext] => Now I may never
love you in my lifetime
but let's not waste right now.
For now heaven can wait
while you're in my arms.
Theres nothing left to say
on this cold December night.
I may want you baby,
and I may need you lovely,
but I'm never gonna love you.
Now I may never love you, no.
Theres only one woman
that I've ever loved in my life.
She left me cold and crying
one dark and stormy night.
She kissed me gently and
held me tightly one last time.
Said goodbye and packed her suitcase
then she walked right out of my life.
Baby please don't shed a tear
and please don't be sad.
Now I may want you,
and I may need you,
but theres no way that
I'm ever gonna love you.
Baby I'm sorry that I
can't lie to stop your tears.
Nothing will ever change my
mind or the way that I feel.

Reminiscent of a song. Love is not an illusion. Love is real. Sometiimes it is the lovers that are not real. Don't pin a lifetime judgement of love on one woman or one relationship. I know that after many bad ones I found the best. It is gone now, but I will never forget it and will base my next one on what I learned from it.

This is tragically sad my friend, but time will heal your heart. There might always be that scar left by a love gone bad, but the pain will fade and believe it or not another will make you learn to trust and love again.
Very well done
Barkeep, a round for my friend

Moving. Very moving.
That said, I think there are a few minor gripes I would appreciate smoothed out if you should ever try to revise this poem.
Your wording sounds....too familiar, implying a use of trite or preconceived phrases and terms coined by others. Your lines, granting you the freedom of free verse, still seem a bit too ragged and rushed--maybe a few stanzas or some punctuation between the lines to slow it down a little? The way the poem just sprinted from the start to the finish didn't quite match the greiving apology within.
On another note, a few lines describing the lost love would add the nostalgic touch that most of these poems are perfected by.
We all know, just like almost everyone else, that there's pain in your life. If she hurt you, but you love her, at least make her beautiful. As is, it sounds less like a poem, and more like spoken word.
"Aroused connivers shall deprecate all that runs away, and sleep befalls escapism."

| Obviously you haven't listened to the song. So I'll just ignore everything you said and continue smilling. |

Black... This was sad. But greatly written. And although I dont think I've ever heard the song, I really enjoy reading this. Thanks.
