For Sara: My Wife

For all my feelings
My opinion has no meaning
I try to express emotion
Why do I bother speaking
I tell her that I love her
I truly believe that she's beautiful
She sheds tears as she says "Thank you
But your words are just dutiful"
She can't see what I do about her
Her walls are just built too high
Her defences are set too deep
All I can do is try
And that is what I will do
Even if it takes the rest of my life
She will know my words are true
As is my love til the end of time
