A Deadly Melody

He plays a tune that I don't know
He gives me  light that does not glow
He gives me a love that I can't feel
And it feels so right though it's not real.

He offers me jewels, he offers me golds
But he never stayed with me when the night is cold
He gives me heat but he can never be warm
He gives me peace but shows me harm.

He plays a song with a broken guitar
But the sound is not meant for a broken heart
He's with me but I can never feel him there
I know he loves me but he shows me no care.

I know he knows but it never came across his mind
I know it's inside him but he never dares to find
I know that the love that he feels for me
Has always been a deadly melody.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
