Do not step over my feelings <br />As if they were a silken carpet <br />That you want to feel <br />Beneath your cruel feet <br /> <br />Do not laugh over my fears <br />Heed my heartbeats <br />For only you <br />Does it valiantly beat <br /> <br />Do not underestimate <br />the power of my love for you <br />It is true, brave and will not falter <br />It will stand any sacrifice <br />It will prove its worth <br />at love's mighty altar <br /> <br />A woman loves but once <br />Her first love is fast and true <br />Do not mock my devotion <br />As if it is a trophy you collect <br />Lest its passion entirely devours you.<br /><br />Arti Chopra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trample-not-my-feelings/
