Let’s not fall in Love.

entry picture

 

Heaven, full of shooting stars, watched

while we lay close together on a sandy beach.

Wishes made that day may be cast away.

When no longer close, when we're out of reach

We'll surely blame one another.

For the closeness of our smother,

Then we may part.

 

Bittersweet tears may fall.

From our eyes to the floor

Promises sworn may be torn.

from hearts, and yet once more.

We consider a continuation thereof.

Overlooking the consequences of our love.

That means we'll part.

 

Abusive words so harshly hurled.

Towards each other face-to-face

Crockery doesn't fall but smashes against the wall.

So just in case,

It all goes wrong.

Let's not begin our lover's song.

Then we'll not part

I'm not in love

An interesting poem about the unforeseen consequences of falling in love. Love is a complex emotion and your poem picks up on this with some good writing.
Thank you for this
