tell it to me gently

i love life
and yet i couldn't live
in a world without love

and you-
i will love you always
for you are more precious
to me than life itself

loving you comes easily
and leaving you
i m p o s s i b l e

yet should you ever fall
out of love with me
please tell me-
but tell it to me gently

A well-penned poem

Gentle is as gentle does, and so I gently say that I like this poem for what it says, but would love it if it were a tad stronger! You have it in you to do this, I am quite sure! Go girl!

Dear Faith

I love the way you spelled impossibly with a space between each letter, It made the word really stand out to the fullest of the meaning. Always, Cat

If only there were some

If only there were some original metaphors! The ending is quite wonderful and makes the poem even so. Light, Anna "There is a kind of mysticism to writing." ~ Irvine Welsh
