Waiting to understand (Free verse) by Cha no Onna

How do you love someone Who doesn't know what love is Who can't see herself with your eyes Who becomes only a cold, empty room? You told me that you love the truth of me Not in so many words, but that was The meaning I found. And still I, Quiet as a pilot light, Wait to understand. Through yesterdays I think I grieved for myself. It hurt, knowing suddenly that there was no love Here in my heart, which holds you and him And so many others, For me.
