upon looking into your eyes,
my heart welled up with tears
and my soul disfigured itself into
the apitamy of sorrow,
that only then reduces to the
inviting pain;
the same feeling that sweeps
across your eyes in a held glance
holding tightly on to something,
cringing the inside of my mouth
to stop the form of tears
a strength only mastered over time
not fully comprehending the words
sliding out of your mouth
yearning deeply to understand..
to make everything ok
the suffering hurts only worse
when you tell me i love you
for..no one else will ever have knowledge
of a love greater than anything this world
has ever come to known or develop
only you
and i
know of this love
of this truth,
i cannot cry enough
for everyone in the world
minus 2
that does not,
will not,
ever understand this.
and Yet...part of me,
doesn't care.
this love, it is ours, yours and mine
shared only by our bonds,
by our cling to each other
only does this love exist
between you and I...
