This is a recently revised poem I received from Maieh in late August. - poetheart 09/11/01
I want to stop loving you;
for the inevitable pain that
comes with the joy it brings.
Such unexplainable feeling that
burns and punctures deep
to very core of my id.I want to stop loving you;
because in such love, I most
often face sorrow than bliss.
Such grief that leaves me
devastated and lost of hope
for its unlikeable eventuality.I want to stop loving you;
for it often brings me
to a state of restlessness.
Abashed and deluded to a
concocted surreality
I can no longer comprehend.I want to stop loving you;
because even in such want,
I begin to think otherwise.
Neglective and careless of consequences
that I slowly lose hold
of what has been keeping me alive.
And I wish as much that
I stop loving you,
knowing all these time
you will never love me,
the way I have always loved you.
