I gave my heart to you
And all that you could do
Was reply in prose.

Do you suppose that I
Will trust your pages
Which do not even rhyme???

So you engage us with your "love"?
But can such "love" be love
Without a "glove", or "dove" above???

For sure we've shared some happy times
But clearly most were based on lies
If they're not rhyming in your mind.

Of course I'll miss your hazel eyes
Your touch, your face, the way it smiles.
I doubt that you'll respond in kind.

Perhaps you'll give a friend a call
Or cry, and write in your weblog,
Or not write anything at all.

But then your memory will fog
And you'll move on - as I stand cursed
In the infinity of verse.

I'll hang impaled on rhythm's tree
While giving life in poetry
To one I loved, but loved me not.

Now let this truth be my goodbye
We'll both do well to live our lives,
I in my truth - you in my lie.

This is very well-written. Every line is well thought of and I love the way you have constructed it around poetry and the feeling of love. Very well done.

I would just ask you to think again about the double punctuation you have used here, but apart from that, it is very good.

Oh, very clever. The actual poem is very well constructed, but what I love most about this is that it is a poem about poetry, and maybe how rhyme and poetic conventions can keep us from just saying what needs said. My only grumble would be that I wish the rhyme scheme, since this is a collection of tercets and otherwise very structured, would be more consistant.Still, very interesting, the personification of poetry and prose as a struggling couple is great, and I can really tell that you thought about every stanza. Very very well done, I enjoyed this very much. ^_^

The title almost stopped me - sounded like a topic in the "Little Cafe." ^-^

But then I got into the meat of the poem. Very nicely done; you're quite skilled at this. Nice flow, and I like your word choices, and as Tricia said, very clever premise.

My only caveat would be to echo Nupur and suggest you look at the punctuation issue.

Nice job.
