Array ( [sid] => 39562 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I can't love you [time] => 2004-03-21 02:38:15 [hometext] => 'Two out of three ain't bad' by Meatloaf. Bat out of hell. I was listening to this when I realized how true it felt to me. Maybe someday but I doubt it. [bodytext] => Would you hold me tight
let me know it'll be alright.

Let's light us a candle
and watch it slow burn.

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.

This breaks my heart...and I know the feeling but from the other perspective...a beautiful write. I've always thought a poet should make people feel...and you always do that...always.

*wistful sigh* Your poems always get me so wrapped up in the emotions within them. I know this feeling, and if I were a liar I'd tell you you'll love again one day and blah blah blah all that mushy crap. But what the hell do I know? I won't promise you nothing, as I never make a promise I can't keep. But I'll read your poems and leave comments and be the cool person I am who everybody loves. lol. (I am, however, a mite sarcastic at times... only at times... hehe)

Oh what a poem! Its so bitter! It really made me sad! You really know how to make me feel terrible! ........ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!! How can you be so expressive? How can you write with such mastery? How dare you write such a wonderful poem filled with raw emotion?! (Oh well thats what really talented poets do *sigh*)
Don't worry I'll just search for a humorous poem.
P.s. I love meatloaf as well ;)

"on this cold December night.
I may want you baby,
and I may need you lovely,
but I'm never gonna love you"

I like the directness of this poem....it may sting someone though.... nicely written.
