I loved you
I loved you when you loved me as if there was no one else ever to exist
No one else you could possibly love
i loved you when there was no need to second guess every syllable of every word you spoke You only lied when you said "I love you more"
I know this b/c the love I had for you had no limitations
loved you when you touched me like it would be your last time every single time I loved you when you never told me no because you would agree to dying as long as it was next to me
And now I hate you.
Only it's not you that I hate
It's the way i cannot resist the love i still have for you It resides in every breathe i take In every action I make
I hate that you refuse to love me the way i beg of you
This time i needed you more than ever to just love me, only me
You couldn't, yet again
So there will be no more here we are agains
I'll forever love you.
But forever will never be a word meant for people
Even true soulmates utter the phrase
"Til death do us part"
Forever will always be a word meant for memories
You will forever be my fondest memory

Your Poem's Voice
Deeply personal autobiographical love/heartbreak narrative with minimal abstract reflection.
Dense emotional ideas layered throughout: love, betrayal, hate, memory compressed tightly.
Predominantly negative despite love declarations; heartbreak, hate, and resignation dominate.
Intense emotional language and rapid shifts between states; lacks formal kinetic velocity.
Approximately 23-25 lines; falls solidly within 16-30 range.
Modest ornamentation: metaphors of breath/memory, personification of love, but mostly declarative.
Pure lyric internal voice; introspective monologue addressing absent beloved directly.
