From You I Listen

climbed into your head today, to find out what you meant what you said the other day, the rawness of your text to understand the words you used, ...the meaning stashed behind them... my mind is undecided this shallow tone, yet full descript critical a charitable vocabulary, the use of cryptic literal, the understanding, in your mind where do you go- this lineage...to comprehend a reply, this comment I send... I replay, my memory those chosen words you sent... some loving, some harsh, my heart bleeds when they are re-said, we exchange so many words, spent time to unravel the critical, to understand, love and sadness our two most subjective critics- can make one very miserable we believe in what we say, in some the unknown, the truth, listen intent for some on downward spiral the cynic will ensure a trial we restore faith in our love, our words the seeds, through each other we have grown, this pilgrimage, a sentence in time together our feelings, our words a debated rhyme... a shared tomorrow flows this sometimes controversial yet meaningful understanding, one message the most powerful of all I pay most attention, from you I listen... when you say, to me I love you, these words a powerful resurge my life force recharged from you I listen, from you I believe in from you I know comes truth... for it's you I believe in I believe in you...
