A Thousand

A thousand … A thousand words will not make them understand Begging and pleading, I know, I have tried Writing poems and stories of love; holding hands Or shedding a million tears, I know, I cried A thousand ways, to express the pain Angry words that tear each other apart And, all of it, is really in vain When in the end, you break your heart A thousand years, and, the story is the same Lovers quarrel and lovers part And, feeling that the other, is to blame When, forever turns to lovers apart A thousand words will not make them understand When, they never really hear what you say A thousand tears, or love, that time will span Will sometimes not be enough to stay J.E.
