Please Do Not Tell Me You Love Me Poem by Nana Kwame Nketsiah

Please do not tell me you love me
Or worst should you shed tears for me
The lying tongue of love pricks hard like a thorn
Clearing away it bushy path
To the deadly place near the grave of cupid.
Long gone are the shattered railways
Were love used to walk hand in hand between us.

Please do not tell me you love me
What is more painful than the sorest heart?
Or the painful torture of love
Pitiful indeed, the unimaginable emotions
Up and down it grow old, fades and dry

Please do not tell me you love me
Fast unfold the episodes of love
The long lasting scenes and act
Which was played and acted by mum and dad
Should I draw and hold the mighty devil called kiss
With his dreaded accomplice love
Who once my companion left me horribly.
