The Truth

I'm thinking of what you're feeling
I'm thinking aout the way you laugh
I'm thinking about all the love you've given me
And what you're expecting
About what you think of me
And how you're living for me
I avoid your eyes
When they're wanting to see you through me
Each time they look at me
Do I make sure that I miss them
When you're standing in front of me
Do I flee in your arms every time again
So tat I won't give away what the truth is
Every day you tell me,
How much you love me,
How nice you live with certainty,
How you trust me.
How do you tell someone,
That the earth isn't round anymore,
That the birds don'f fly anymore,
And the sun no longer shines.
How do I tell you,
That the life you lived, 
And the love you felt,
Will disappear soon.
You're losing me.

It is the truth

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
