I Will Not Chase Love

This is one of my all time favorite poems. I wrote it during a time of great heartache.. in fact I wrote it (and several poems) a few nights after the heartbreak occurred. I reflect upon that night and can still see the rage in my heart as I wrote this. The premise of the poem was that I was not going to keep going after her, that I was not going to keep allowing my heart to yearn for her , but as I got to the end of the poem I realized that for her, I just might make an exception to the rule. I hope you enjoy.
