Empty "I Love You's"

I didn’t know it would hurt you.
I didn’t know it would make an enormous impact.
It did. And now I know how you feel.
I’m sorry. And I wish I could say more.

I love you. You say it with magnificent adoration.
I love you. My word expires and withers away without soul.
I embraced you without warmth. I kissed you without passion.
I received your love, but gave nothing back.

I can’t run away from it. I killed you inside.
I shot you in the heart with this gun labeled “lies”.
Imprison me for life, because I took one away.
I will soon perish from this lethal injection called love.

I love you. I love you not. I love you. I love you not.
I pluck off the petals of a perfect flower.
I love you. I love you not. I love you. I love you not.
Innocent rose; you are finished… and so am I.

I wrote this poem a long time ago. In October I broke up with my girlfriend. What I wrote in here was exactly what I felt at the time. This was the first poem that I had ever written. I am not motivated in doing writing, but when I am in great emotion, anything happens.
