Conversations of Love

I hear you speaking words of love
  Although the words are sweet 
Don't forget they're right above 
   Your bitter heartbeat

The yelling and shouting hurts
  Speaking words of anger 
Acts of kindness in spurts 
  Bitterness is the danger

So remember to forgive 
  All the pain reminded of
I'm yearning you to live
  Conversations of love

First of all this is a stunning and spectacular piece! The conversations that a baby in the womb listens to is a part of their development. This is a masterful, clever write. The way you portray a bitter mother pretending to be sweet, when the baby within her knows different. Genius!!!
