I understand you sometimes
You say so much
Sometimes I just close my eyes
And try to listen to the whisper
Of your heart straining
Toward me trying to make me listen
To the words hidden in the words
Sweet lilting melodies in your voice
And grating irony in your heart
Hide all that you mean from me
I know not what you say
I feel the aching pain in my chest
Longing for your giving touch
But you hide behind your words
Even though your heart fights
To tell me the truth that lies somewhere
In our subconsciouses
But I am too blind to see
And am deaf so I hear you not
And we are both alone and wanting
Because neither of us can understand the truth

I love the irony in it. Too often our feelings blind us from what is right there in front of us. Good write.

To hate you must first have loved.

there are times in are lives, when we feel the most blind...that's when we look with our hearts and often see more clearly...listening works the same way....I loved this poem, everthing about it worked...good stuff...I really like your work.

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.
