I Cannot Make You Love Me (Villanelle)

lubsedutime

Is love what love was meant to be?

Look in my eyes and see the sadness

I cannot make you love me

 

My sight set foot on your beauty

Relieve me from my cheerlessness

Is love what love was meant to be?

 

Inside of you a paradise I fancy

A gem idolized for you are my weakness

I cannot make you love me

 

I am in love held in captivity

My prison is my heart in distress

Is love what love was meant to be?

 

Not because I love you, you must love me

If you choose not to give your tenderness

I cannot make you love me

 

I love you for eternity

Better or for worse with fondness

Is love what love was meant to be?

I cannot make you love me

Have your say
