Don't Tell Me You Love Me by Love
Don't tell me you love me if you are not sincere
For a lie that strong can ruin my life and bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved, fear to love ever again
It can cause my fragile heart to break, tear and bend.
Think of all in life that will be missed
because of one small broken promise
So, when I put all of my trust deep within you
Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do.

This is a poem I wrote after my best friend, (now my boyfriend) told me he loved me for the first time. We both understood that "love" is a strong word and we rarely used it because at that time we weren't together yet so we didn't want to say anything we were unsure of.


comments
bubble this poem really shocked me cos it is really talking about love which means a lot to me. i want to say to a girl that i love her but sometimes they don't understand cos they think of the bad way of love this days as some guys do now but in my mind it's different i really need some one as true lover. - sattar

bubble This poem touched me because i was in my 8th grade year in middle school (im now a junior) and i fell in "love" with someone. we dated up until the first couple of weeks of my sophmore year. we said we loved each other and we had future plans and everything. and he promised that he would always love me. and then that promise got broken and it tore my world apart and left me depressed for a very long time. this poem touched me because its the truth, "love" is a very strong word that should not be used unless you can honestly say without a doubt in your mind that you do love them, because it can hurt people. - candida
bubble I really do like your poems. I told this to my frist boyfriend, for him not to say he loved me unless he ment it. He never said 'I love you' after that. Then we broke up. I told my second boyfriend that, he said it everyday after that. Then I told him it would just break my heart if he didn't mean it, he said it would break his heart if I didn't mean it either. We've been together for 4 years. I was 13 when I went out with the first guy, that only lasted for about 2 months. But they second guy I'm 17 now, and he still says he loves me everyday. - Catie
bubble Hey this poem is so true i love it. - Shorty
bubble a guy can tell you they love you a million times but to a grl they mean nothing but just words. but if you say it to that special grl one day without them expecting them it could mean so much. you said it a million times and it means nothing. you say it once and it means so much cause it came from the heart. - karen

bubble I really love this poem. It expresses alot of what I feel about alot of things. I really dont get how people can allwayse throw the word around without meanong anything.

bubble i like this poem. but i think that 'Love' has alot of means. it is a stronge word and u have to make sure that the person who u say it to know wat u mean. i once said i love a boy. but i ment it as. he will always be in my heart and his a really close friend and that i will always love him, but i didnt mean it as. 'i love you lets get married. so when someone says they 'Love' dont straight away thing. he wont u. the fact that it means so many things is the reason why it is such a stronge word. - Tiny

bubble your poem is GREAT - blue
bubble I really liked your poem, but I was disappointed to read in the comments that everyone assumes that it is always guys who say it and don't mean it. I know I meant it when I told my current girlfriend, but when she later said that she loved me she didn't seem sincere to me. So I sent her a copy of this poem, asking her to be honest. I was right, but she liked me a whole lot and didn't want to lose me. I know now that when she says it to me, she'll mean it. So thankyou to the author, whtever your name is. - Dan

He was in a 5 year relationship with this girl and he told me he loved me first at 1st i felt like i was a rebound for his ex but then i found he really did love me later of but at first he didn't. he was just used to saying it and he thought that if he didn't then i wouldn't be with him anymore. but it put me though a lot of hardship cuz my heart was confused.your poem really touched my heart thank you. - polly
