A Poem...entitled Departure..

Departure

My words are out and running
I cannot keep them in hiding
It’s depressing to tell this to you
But for once, I need to speak and be true

You speak of your love for me
But worthy suitor, I cannot love thee
For love, if forced, may come out wounded
And love if not returned, will soon be defeated

A thousand words I ought to say to you
To explain why we cannot make it through
But all I can think are, “Sorry, sorry, sorry”
My attempts are futile; with you I just can’t be happy

There are no butterflies when we are together
I feel nothing, no chills hither and thither
Underneath us, the soil claims no magic
Our world is only destined to be heartsick

Dear friend, you are much worthy of affection
Which is why I say no to your generous devotion
I did not intend for you to suffer
I promise you it will soon be over

For the clock is ticking, my words are at an end
Sooner or later, your heart will mend
But for now, our paths will fall apart
I know my departure you will not thwart

As I turn my back to his tearful eyes,
I prayed that somehow he will find the affection he desires
To finally let me go and thrive
And set me free and soaring like a dove

This was really good. I think that maybe you could try coming up less used metaphores and words when writing a "love" poem but over all I think you did a great job. Keep writing.
