I love you , too By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
I love you
Lingering in the silence
Didn't say it back
One time after a thousand
That it was returned
Yet it feels like little cracks
Are marking up the broken glass
And I hold my hollow chest
Even though I know you thought it back
The words just never formed
And yet it feels like rejection
Like being left in the cold again
Even though your heart's so warm
Is it selfish to feel this way?
To wish for an answer every time?
I know that the love is there
So why should it hurt
When I extend and get no answer
It exists, it's real
So why should I have to have
A fresh bit of evidence
Every single day?
I can feel it in your pulse
See it in your eyes
In every action you take
And breath you breathe
In every word you speak
So why do I feel like it's gone
When it's obviously there
Screaming out to me
Through the silence of your every thought
So cruel not to be comforted
By what I smell everywhere in the air
Yet can't hear in the form of words
I love you
And I wish I didn't want an answer
Aside from the smile that follows my words
I wish I didn't need to hear
That you love me back
