That simple phrase has many meanings
“I love you”
But do you ever really know when it is real?
My love you hesitate.
Why are you not saying anything?
I am afraid.
Would I be tossed away because of something simple?
Would it be my age, my looks, or my weight?
Could it be because I am a certain race or because I cannot change the fact
that I am not perfect?
why must life be mean and steal everyone away
can I not live in pure happiness?
ah but that shall not stay because it never lasts.
just like the leaves in the trees.
because time is cruel and life will move on.
slowly yet it will still move.
it is the same with everyone
time moves at the same pace.
if he be a poor man, rich man, or even a colored man
no one can buy time.
ah, now I see.
it cannot stay.
as it bids me farewell,
i smile and bid it farewell.
but, as it turns the corner
i simply cannot bare it.
Falling on the soiled earth.
Silently screaming into the hollowing wind.
Crying tears of pain.
Burning with hatred.
wishing for some kind of compassion or kindness.
these ugly things mark my face and soul.
just because one simple phrase turned into a horror.
I
  No
      Longer
              love
    You.
