Best You Tell Me Poems

Why did you tell me "I love you?" 
A knee-jerk birthed of fear? 
A pandering to my ego? 
Words I wanted to hear? 

Why did you tell me "I love you?" 
Later "I don't think I do?" 
A whimsical slash of cruelty? 
Ambiguous through and...

You came into my life
You didn't ask so much of me.
You're the one giving out
I'm the one taking in

You came into my life
Expecting nothing from me.
You're the one letting it out
I'm the one keeping it in

One day you left me
Without saying a word.
I looked for...

A father tends to his children's fears
with sweet kisses while drying their tears.
And his hug embraces them with love,
prizing each as a gift from above.

Can you tell me of a father's kiss?

A lover acknowledges your past pain,
supporting you as you smile again.
And desire brews an...

Can you tell me why I feel so upset?
Can you tell me that you have no regrets?
Can you tell me why I’m emotional,
Can you tell me anything at all?
Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Why is the day taking so long?

You don't see what I see
or what goes on in my head,
so how can you tell me
that the sky is not red?

You can't feel my passion,
eternal flame in my heart,
so how can you tell me
from my pain won't come art?

You can't listen to my soul

“What You Tell Me ”
© 2003 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc



You tell me that I’m beautiful
You tell me you love me so
You tell me I need to trust you

If you tell me you love me...

Love me not for the color of my eyes,
But for the way they speak-

Love me not for my lips, not for my smile;
Love me for the all the things I smile for-

Love me not because I create art,
But because...

If you tell me to go away, I won`t do that.
I won't listen to that nonsense.
And my feet won't obey your silly words.
If you tell me to shut up, I'll keep silent.
But I won't hear your curses.
It's not you who will speak but your pride.
If...

is this feeling that your feeling normal
are the trees moving to it's own rhythm
does your hair stand up from shock
are your nights cold and alone
is the grass the usual green
is the sound in your ear the very same
does your head hurt when you raise it...

You tell me
~~~~~~~~~
Are you weeping because you lied?
I've been fooled too many times not to see the signs
To answer a question, yes I do care
And no I'm not a fool
I realized that you didn't ask that 
So don't treat me as if I were
Are you...

I am the ear peiece device
They attach when your hearing fails
I am both the coffin and the nails
Your scary bed time tales
Of night stars and prison bars
I am the bug that lairs inside your head
Scaring you from going to bed
I am you
And I am what...

When you call me beautiful
 
What does it mean?

What exactly do you see?
 
One is ever lasting
 
The other is passing
 
 
  
When you tell me you love me
  
What is its meaning?
 
What exactly are you feeling?
 
One is deep within...
