What will you do?

If, you don’t want me
What can I do?
If, you don’t feel the same way
I guess that means we’re really through

If, you smile at me
I’ll have to turn away
If, you try to be my friend
I’ll have to build more walls in my day

If, I plead for your affections
And your answer is always the same
If, I tell you I love you
Maybe I can win you back by making a change

If, I never met you
Would I be better off now?
If, our paths never crossed
Maybe this pain would stop somehow

If, we could turn back time
And you could remember the perfection of our kiss
If, we started over
We could begin again with a new magical bliss

Source

If, only I could tell you

If, you only knew
My heart is breaking
Dear love,

Without you

Oh this pain that I know so well. I feel so deeply sorry that you know this pain enough to express it so poignantly here. I wish you peace and that you know you made the right decision.

Nice rhyme. I really liked the comma after the if. Punctuation is a great way to build rhythms and give the reader space to breath.

Well done . j

Vanja Kovacic on Dec 10, 2008
This poem is absolutely terrific! I especially liked the way you were able to convey so much emotion practically solely through questions. I also like the language very much, so simple and direct and perfect for getting the point across.

I am relatively new here and am just browsing through the poems and yours really touched me. A great poem!

TommyP on Dec 10, 2008
What guy in his right mind would not want you?!? Look at all the love directed at you in these comments (not to mention all the other poems/articles) Whoever this guy is HE\’S the one missing out!
Or maybe he\’s intimidated by your level of intelligence, beauty commitment, or any number of other insecurities we all have.
I\’ve never even met you and I love you!!! ~
nobert soloria bermosa on Dec 10, 2008

anonomous on Dec 11, 2008
i so wish i could turn back time as i fear my relationship is going to end up there, hes becoming all sexual and less loving oh im startring to think i liked it better when he lied to me
i love him i worship him and im only waiting for him to show me the same, hes strying and he nvr notices when he slips back into his old self but i fear tat he’ll forget wat true love is again when hes just found it
r. porter on Dec 11, 2008
Very nice! I like your clean use of rhyme. It usually is not that big a deal to rhyme, but you have a good style.
Anthony M Jones on Dec 11, 2008
