Do I?

Do I love?
I do not know.
He kisses me,
I cannot show
an eagerness
to him who loves,
I kiss him back
‘tis not enough.

No sweetness in
that little kiss,
I shudder at
my marble lips.
I wonder why
I cannot show
a fevered heart,
I do not know.

I wish I could
hand him my heart,
but how could I
without that spark?
Do I love?
I think I know,
I fear I have
no love to show.

Wow,I really love this poem.It explains the unreturned love,empty soul,missing person in a one sided love.It was amazing,truly.I think your tempo is off slightly but the rythme is fairly even.There is such strong visual coherence.A truly riveting peice.Great job!

Wow. Very nice poem. the wording, everything is wonderful.

Do I love..? I think the dots make it more obvious that it is a question posed towards yourself.
I do not know.

I wish I could
hand him my heart,
but how could I
without that spark? Heres where the lines get a little clunky. I'm not sure how to rewrite that, though. It works, it's just not perfect.

When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.
