How to Love

Here we are saying we're in love
But yet you're miles away,
A feeling that doesn't really feel too good
So there's got to be another way.

We talk all the time tryin' to hide the strain
Though at times it's gets pretty bad,
Too much time correcting and directing
What we'd wished the other one had.

As a results our feelings are hurt each day
Like an illness without a cure,
For not too long we'll soon find out
If the love we share is pure.

I really love the times we're together
And I melt just to think of your touch,
But actions speak much louder than words
And yours aren't saying very much.

So all that's left is to pray to God
To lead us along the way,
To give us insight on understanding
How to love from day to day.

your poem is simple and honest -- you speak so simple, factually... the beauty is that you give it all to love and let love decide and choose the direction where you two go. For lack of words, are so much nicer at times than the ones that pierce; and like holes in the wood, can't be unholed, taken back completely, some always leave a mark, best to be quiet and let difficult time pass by like the plague over the doors of the clean... and share space when the smiles come easier.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
