. . . I listened- I observed- . . . I considered everything I learned- .. . . Seemed to me- you hadn't truly been- Treated like - someone valued- respected for- Who you are- or lived with any kind of real love- . . . But it wasn't what you were looking for- still so hurt- trying to heal- all by yourself- then comes the second round- the wounds burned into scars- . . . .... ... I couldn't stop- the pounding inside my heart- I tried to camouflage and tangentize- anything to relieve my mind- . . . But still there's love- Can't get it to stop- So I hold it close- Safe in the dark- . . .es It waits with patience Gentle- determination There's no rhyme To harmonize- The blind cant see the light- And love still Lasts despite- . . .- ... ... The truth in unconditional Is shown through example It can not need- Lost- in - unrequited- It can not touch - Buried deep - shadowed- . . . But its still love Still devotion In background- Never spoken . . - It's still love- It just won't stop still Doesn't matter where you go- The heart knows how to get home . . . Sometimes in the quiet dark where nightmares come to steal your spark, the fire that burns- still protects - who it will - whether or not it's presence is felt . . . This love doesn't have requirements- Once it starts- it will remain constant Doesn't mean to imbue obligation- Its not your fault- my love couldn't take no-- For an answer- . . . And though this is the pain- of the lonely- a fool- maybe even - but its as authentic and honest- as my experience and intelligence can express- . . . But maybe that is just the price, of love- In silence .... .... ..... Love in silence
