Love Poem: I Don'T Want To

I Don'T Want To

I don't fall in love, I said to you
But then, what am I supposed to do?
When the past taught me things forseen
When Love showed me events never to be unseen.

I was afraid to fall and break.
But now I had, and for new chances, I wouldn't dare make
For falling is easy, and trusting is my doubt
Drums roll and lingering suspense takes place in my bout

Falling in love did hurt me all the time
And made me realize how foolish it was, to waste a tithe
For you or any girl waiting for my sweet hand for them to take
For happiness never lasts, for experiences pile up my hate

Falling in Love is not scary, it's destroying, as you can't see
I wouldn't worry, for I'll turn a blind eye away your innocent offering
To show me affection, to then give me all the blame
Of the consequences in the nigh, in the drastic choices you'd make.
