I Cant Do This Anymore
by sara t.
If you'd put your
Hands upon
My face
I would say
This is a lie
And you'd say
What is
And I'd answer
This, this is a lie
Your eyes
Looking deeply
Into mine
The warm air
Between us
And if you would
Try to kiss me
I would say
It's a lie
It doesn't mean
Anything this
Only that my lips
Are ripe and soft
And you need
To feel them
And you would sigh
Saying why
Ruin this moment
And I would answer
That too is a lie
The moment

The music of the poem is really nice - the use of s and l and i. Well done, Sara.
At first I read line 10 as a typo ... “This, this is a lie / Your eyes / Looking deeply” ... but there's another way to read that I find interesting – “This, this is a lie / Yours (and an understood comma) eyes / Looking deeply” ... There's a repeat of this form later in the piece – “It doesn't mean / Anything this / Only that” - I don't think it's a typo, and for me it works. I wouldn't change a word or line. I like the way the short jolting lines pull the reader through - That too is a lie / The moment
Good piece.
