Tell me you love - me
Speak in words - I can hear
Words - I can understand
When you speak out - loud

Tell me - with your voice
Tell me - it’s a choice
You’re still making -
Love - me in prose

Straight words - and why -
Do you love me? Do you -
Know - your hands are 
Mute - my skin - is deaf

Speak in sound - do not -
Touch me - letters for fingers -
Shout!  whisper - Write
Anything.
