Is This You Love

I want to know; For you came beautiful and pleasant Charmed me with your charming ‘words’ You said you’d be kind- Why have I felt your wrath so many times? That you’re not the green-eyed type- Why am I a prisoner of your jealousy? Said you don’t get easily provoked- Why have I suffered physical and psychological blows? That you won’t take into account the wrongs - Why the judgments for my petty imperfections? You said you’d be patient- Only it isn’t one of your attributes Said you’d always stick to the truth- Why do I hear your punctuations read with lies That you’d fill my heart with joy- Why is my joy fear? Said you’d always be faithful- Did you mean faithful at straying? That trust would abound- And tear won’t descend; Is trust and tears this tear and teary? That forgiveness we would practice- Guess actions speak louder than words You said amid the tides, through the calm; We’d bear We’d believe We’d hope We’d endure For all times, we would be But is forever this short? And I’ve tried To bear, believe, hope and endure Because triumphing against all odds we built towards And I’d want to go back to square one When your ‘words’ reflected a beauty to behold Not this character in front of me I want to know; is this you love?
