Have I Told You...?

Have I told you that I love you?
It feels like I say it everyday.
Everytime we talk.
I know I have told you more than once.
I love everything about you.
Everything about your body, mind, and soul.
You make me feel like I can fly.
If you asked it of me, I would just for you.
You make a whole'nother side of me come out.
The side of myself that I don't show many people.
The side that I want to keep hidden.

Have I told you how much you hurt me?
Why don't you talk to me around other people?
Am I only a toy?
Something to be used only when you say so?
I see you glance in my direction and then look away without even a smile.

Have I told you I cry for you?
My dogs taste nothing but salt on my face from the tears I cry for you.
My pillow is soaked from more of those tears.
No one else seems to notice them.
Friends ask "what's wrong?"
I can't tell them.
Why am I sworn to secrecy?
Why must I lie?

Have I told you...?

    Wow-I love how this poem takes on a journey and more so a life of its own, I love how you laid out in each stanza the different phases of a relationship. You did a wonderful job at writing this-keep it up!

    Jeff.

    This poem is deep and I loved it. Sometimes guys and girls act different around their friends...I wish people would just act the way they are around everyone- that's what I do with my boyfriend and best friends. If they have a problem with how I act, I don't care- It makes me happy...just...being the way I am. I think saying the title at the end of the poem brings the reader back to a thought and I think the poem went perfectly.

    Great write.
