I'd rather wave then say good-bye
stand down wind, avert my eyes
obscure the truth like hazy days
become an actress in his play

I'd rather wave then say hello
than be appraised from head to toe
or scrutinized beyond my mind
pretend in fact that I am blind

I'd rather smile than shed one tear
hold at bay the storm this year
search for treasures 'mid these fears
walk away than have him near

A message to my love,
message to my love
to whom do you sing your
songs for now?
it doesn't matter anyhow
it never did, it never will
my heart is numb and cannot feel

I'd rather under pretense, go
disappear than let you know
just how much I loved you so
this broken heart so full of woe

I'd rather to never have known you at all
ignored your presence, nor answered your call
or gained a glimpse of the sweetness inside
before ambiguity became your guide

A message to my love
message to my love
to whom do you sing your
songs for now?
it doesn't matter anyhow
it never did, it never will

oh how I wish I could not feel...

A beautiful, even though sad message to your Love.

Such sorrow, such regret.  This write brings across the ache.

Oh Tier...the ache is so real here.

Seems you've written a song here.

Happy to see you "active" again. *smile*

Thank you all for the kind comments.  I suppose I should have posted a disclaimer beneath for this poem basically wrote itself a month ago and has no bearing in truth whatsoever.

"I'd rather wave then say hello

or scrutinized beyond my mind

Disclaimer noted, this becomes even more impressive in it's communication of the same wrenching emotion it denies.  Excellent write Tier...

A very plaintive love-song, Tier...
Thank you.

Yes Tier, I feel that on many occasion.

A great write.. like a song.

Enjoy reading you
