I Love You

They didn’t like it... My honest gift. I guess they didn’t like me, to accept the truth. The expensive truth with all the open wounds, The expensive truth with all its cruelty, The expensive truth with no sympathy, The expensive truth that had no empathy... I couldn’t help it I saw it in their eyes They were begging for such a gift I heard their screaming soul cry for it I couldn’t help but take notice of it all Every plead caught my attention And so here I am Here I stand With a gift for you I’m sorry for the lies Sorry for the other gifts that weren’t real That weren’t yours But here I stand with a gift for you You might not like me But please like it This time It’s yours and only yours

Powerful and incisive insight, IF! Truth is a gift that always keeps giving. But, a lot of people shun from accepting it. Such is life, living at the modern. Great poetry. May love light your path in life always. Romantic Warrior
