He Said No Love.

He said, “No love, don’t fall for me,” But his eyes whispered endlessly. A silent storm, a quiet flame, I touched the edge and felt the pain. His smile is soft, his voice is deep, He haunts my thoughts, invades my sleep. He’s rough at night, yet sweet and kind, A devil with a tangled mind. I want to feel him, hold him tight, But something in me takes to flight. He says no love—but still, I stay, Hoping his silence shifts one day. -JN
