I Refuse to Love You

Unintentional, he ignites passion within me,

His words resonate more than I would like.

Avert my eyes from his morning glory gaze.

How I wish to fall madly intertwinded.

But no. I refuse to love you.

My pulse senses his coming,

Erratic heartbeat conflicting a calm mind.

Fasten the mask firmer than ever before.

If only I could peak behind his.

But no. I refuse to love you.

Point blank he tells me, unashamed,

I am unable to interpret this threat or compliment.

Words loaded, I back away.

Can there exist a time with unguarded speak?

No. I refuse to love you.

Nevermore a blossem to emerge,

Affection snuffed before it could sprout. 

To pull the seed from the earth with my bare hands.

Could I even cultivate a romance to grow?

No. I refuse to love you.

In these bleak hours that pass,

I acknowledge your presence with indifference.

The hope you inspire concealed.

Should you wonder of such seclusion,

Because, you refused to love me.

[William Wapi]

I refuse to not love this poem! The second stanza and the last 2 have to be my favourite. This really good and I am not saying this just because I want to make my comment longer or any of that crap...This is a beautifully written poem.

This is simply amazing...very compelling, slightly biting yet showing
Nobility throughout its entirity. This resonated with me, and is
Very relatable. Thank you for sharing! :)
