Why Kill Me With Love?

How do you forget
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you care less for
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you miss not
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you talk not to
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you ignore
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you lie to
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you trust not
Someone you have told
‘I love you’?
How do you not mean it when
Someone you tell
‘I love you’?
How do you belittle the words when
Someone you tell
‘I love you’?

Why would I, if not,
Someone tell
‘I love you’?
Oh Love!
Why would someone, if not,
Tell me
‘I love you too’?

Why kill me with love?
