Poetry Mondays- Loves Pain Withheld

March 12th, 2012 // 2:01 pm @ Janine and Alane

My soul is hurt by rumors that are untrue,

I know this for I see it in all that you do.

Still the words hurt more than you know,

though how can I tell you so.

The love I see reflected in your eyes,

makes me forget the terrible lies.

At night while you sleep I want to cry,

as I suffer in silence you only hear a sigh.

I want to tell you how I feel,

that those words hurt more than steel.

I refrain cause I trust and, believe in you,

still I am in pain, I need to protect you.

When things have settled and all is fine,

I will tell you what has been on my mind.

Until then know this to be true,

I will always believe and, love you.
