Simple Love...

By: Beth M.

This is love pure and simple
But lust is what you called it... what you said it had to be.
Why is it that you are so afraid to simply love me?

You are a part of my heart
your unspoken love sears that heart as a sharp knife...
searing, as my love for you threatens to overwhelm...
as it always seems to do whenever you are around.

I feel it, head to toe.
My heart screams for you to know
how deeply this emotion runs!

I cannot speak of it,
it chokes me down with tears that will never reach the ground.
I simply write of it...
write of these feelings bursting at the seams...
feelings you will never get to read.

Oh, my love! How I wish I could be the one
with which you share your life.
That is all I mean to be... all I mean to say.
To be that someone you can hold, that someone you can trust.
That someone that you love... above all the rest.
I love you.
It's a simple declaration...
for a love that's not that simple after all.
