On my recent trip back to Singapore I was rummaging through some old journals and pictures and I stumbled on this poem. I remember finding this poem online some years back, but for the life of me, can't remember who I had in mind when I read it. (Yeah, I know. Pathetic. Heh)
Anyways, for posterity, I'm going to post it. I remember this peom evoking strong emotions of cynical love for me. Heh. I'm not sure if things have changed, but I dare say I'm slightly more mature now. :)
Here goes...
Have you ever loved another,
Yet the lover had no care.
Has a tear escaped your eye,
Yet no more would even dare.
Does your heart melt with a glance
As you offer up a prayer
When you look into their heart
Does your heart yearn to be there?
Have you wanted him so badly
That your heart would start to bleed
Have you tried to say I love you,
Yet a voice would not proceed?
Don't lend your heart to love dear friend,
Let your tears fall like the rain
A healing heart will break again
And sadness will remain.
You'll ponder thoughts of real love
and wonder if they're true
Pity takes no place in life
Upon a heart so blue
Grand is love yet merciless
The price to pay is high
A choice to take of love or death
My heart would rather die
Never lend your heart to love,
You'll find my words are true
Don't doubt me friend for I should know
I fell in love with you.
