Love Poem: Tether

Tether

I never realized nor told you 
My love has always been a lie,
Because I never wanted to tell you,
Or else you would cry.

I never wanted to hurt you,
But to be fair in love and war
You had emotionally hurt me too,
As my heart became what you tore.

I never want to be with you anymore,
Because I found what I needed,
A sense of paradise lost made my heart sore,
As I felt the seeds blooming from an old love long ago seeded.

I never want you to forget me either,
Just never try to win me back,
And never try to force me to your tether,
Just please cut me some slack.
