Love and Trust

Love and trust By Michelle Morris 31/01/2023 You say "I love you" But I don't feel your emotions The words sound trite Completely hollow All your sweet words Mean nothing without action Time to make an effort If this is a relationship For love is what we do Not only what we say We can't just play a role That looks good to anyone I love you, I miss you I care for you, I do But it does truly hurt When you play it cool This space grows between us Emotional distance with time If we can't be authentic How can our actions match our lines? If we love each other We need to reveal the truth Be willing to act with faith Be willing to thought of a fool True love is rare and precious We need to treat it with respect Love and trust with our hearts Light and hope to our souls invested © Michelle Morris, 2023

Ahhh there’s nothing like reading a poem expressing love…It’s super easy to run away from a relationship….but challenging to stay in and fight for each other when the moment or days are tough. When you have two hearts aligned on the same page, the fight is worth it at the end. Enjoyed!

Absolutely. Love is usually complicated and challenging. The best love stories move us beyond ourselves and our limitations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and appreciation. Blessings and best wishes. :-)

Yep,love is a verb which implies action. When the word love is bandied about with no thought beyond vocal expression it is meaningless. I would rather in that case it wasn't said at all because to me it only serves to add insult to injury and makes that which should be glorious a tool of manipulation to the inexperienced of heart. Enjoyed.Agree 100 percent Michelle.

Thank you, Vickey, for sharing you thoughts. Those 3 little words are powerful and unfortunately, people use them without thought or to manipulate us. True love is action. :-)
